Finally, leading mobile operators in Africa has rested its N1 billion reward promo in Lagos in a grand style, with presentation of prizes to winners and 100 participating subscribers at the event.
Welcoming guest including some of the winners at the event,
the General Manager, Consumer Marketing at MTN Nigeria, Mr. Kola Oyayemi, said
that this kind of promo can only come from MTN.
He noted that based on the can do spirit of MTN management
and staff that the reward promo was a success and was not surprised that after
MTN began its promo, other operators in the industry soon realize their ability
to run a similar promo, even though it may not be classified as successful as
that of MTN.
He also said that the reward promo was to appreciate MTN
subscribers for their loyalty in a decade of service delivery for the Nigerian
people, which would continue to get better in the coming years.
He affirmed that a total number of 100 subscribers won N10,000,000
each with some of them present at the occasion and where later given their
cheques by dignitaries including the Cash Madam, Mrs. Iyabo Lawani among
others.
Meanwhile, MTN Nigeria, has urged its subscribers to
register newly-purchased Subscriber Identification Modules (SIMs), particularly
those in data-enabled devices.
The Corporate Services Executive, MTN Nigeria, Mr. Wale
Goodluck made this call at the weekend, noting that though the vast majority of
MTN subscribers have since complied with the directive to register their SIMs,
it is important for those buying new SIMs to also register them.
“We would like to again remind our subscribers that the
registration directive covers all SIMs, from those in mobile phones to those
inserted in Fastlink internet dongles, iPads, laptops, Point of Sale terminals
(POS), Automatic Teller Machines (ATM) as well as those embedded in
car-tracking devices, among others.”
According to him, all unregistered SIMs will be disconnected
at a set time to be communicated by the Nigerian Communications Commission
(NCC).
Mr. Goodluck therefore called on MTN subscribers to register
their SIMs including those in data-enabled devices at any MTN registration
point nearest to them.
“We thank our customers who have already registered their
SIMs and assure them that we will continue to strive to meet and exceed their
expectations,” he said.
