On Friday, December 9, twenty-six year-old Chimeka Woke became the owner of a three-bedroom house in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, courtesy of digital solutions provider, Globacom.
The winner of the previous day’s draw received the keys to the house from Glo officials.
Woke, a lawyer from Ikwerre, said at the presentation event held on Friday that he was still wondering how to raise money to move into an apartment with his wife and 11-month-old child.
He said that the call that changed his fortune came after he took his father to the hospital and was waiting for him to be attended to.
He said that it sounded too good to be true for someone staying in his father’s Boys’ Quarters to be called and told he had just won a house.
I had been thinking about how to raise funds to rent an apartment for my family to live in.
It was as if God and Globacom were monitoring me”, he disclosed, and thanked Globacom for coming to his rescue and for launching such a massive customer-reward initiative.
The Ahoada Local Government Chairman, Barrister Ben Eke, who was at the event said Globacom had established a reputation for giving back to society.
“For giving people opportunity to own a house, I must congratulate you.
I am going to be your ambassador in propagating your good works”, he said. Similarly, His Royal Highness, Eze (Dr) Anugbom Onuhua, Eze Orlu Ekpodota 1, said “for what Globacom has done today, I am going to be an ambassador of the company, telling people what you are doing”.
Mr Walson Dambo, the Head of Licensing and Operations at the Port Harcourt Zonal Office of the National Lottery Regulatory Commission (NLRC), said the commission has been following the promo to ensure compliance and commended Globacom for its transparency and commitment to the success of the promo.
