Glo Festival of Joy: Winners receive Toyota Prado, Picanto in Abuja

Joyful winners in the ongoing Glo Festival of Joy promo received their prizes at a special presentation ceremony held by Globacom at its Aminu Kano Crescent office, Abuja, on Wednesday, January 22, 2025.

A brand-new Toyota Prado, a brand-new Kia Picanto, a Keke Napep, and numerous other prizes such as sewing machines, grinding machines, and power generating sets were taken home by the lucky and loyal Glo subscribers.

Sarah Ilya Madu, a federal civil servant in Abuja, received the keys to her brand-new Prado SUV from the special guests, Senator Simon Lalong and Senator Yemi Adaramodu, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Youth Development, who were supported by Glo celebrity influencers.

After winning the Toyota Prado in the promotion draw last Friday in Abuja, Sarah, from Borno State, expressed shock at being called to break the news to her. As she narrated at the venue of the presentation, such news was too good to be true, so she repeatedly hung up the phone when she was called from Globacom.

According to her, “I was prevailed upon by my colleagues to do a video call with the staff who called me. Even when I saw the office environment, I was still doubtful.”

She added that when she eventually agreed to visit the Glo office, she went with a hefty colleague just in case she was being set up.”

A 43-year-old businessman residing in the FCT, Ufot Victor, was hoping to win because he had been recharging frequently to meet the minimum requirements for a car. His hard work paid off handsomely when he won a brand-new Kia Picanto.
Other lucky winners also went home with tricycles (Keke), power generating sets, sewing machines and grinding machines.

“I was so joyful on learning I had won a Keke,” said Ireimiya Mallo, a SIM registration agent and Nasarawa State resident who won a Keke. He said that he will use it for business purposes.

Felix Gabriel, the winner of a power generation set, commended Globacom for always honouring Nigerians in its yearly advertisements.

Senator Lalong commended the Globacom Chairman, Dr Mike Adenuga, Jr., for implementing the promotion for Nigerians and noted Adenuga’s ardent support for sports.

He expressed his hope of winning the Glo promo in the near future. Additionally, Senate spokesman and Senate Committee on Youth Development Chairman, Senator Yemi Adaramodu, stated that Globacom had always been a brand close to his heart.

He added that the network was not only interested in drawing in customers but also demonstrating its value to Nigerians by giving out to them.

In his remarks at the event, Globacom’s Head of Division, North West, Mr. Kazeem Kaka, said that to participate in the Festival of Joy promo, new and existing subscribers should dial *611# so as to opt into the promo and to keep recharging thereafter to meet the threshold for the various prizes.
