Ecobank Nigeria has given out N10.5 million cash and other gift prizes as a reward for loyalty to customers who emerge winners in the deposit promo titled “Giant Prize Give Away” promotion.

Ekezie Godson Chigozie, Basil Ewaen Idahosa and Awala Ebiobowei emerged the star prize winners of N2.5 million each in the grand finale of the promo draw held by the bank in Lagos.

Three customers – including Okoro Oghenevwame, Awoke Mathias and Onwuka Jude Obilor won N1 million each in the draw.

Apart from cash prizes, other consolation prizes such as four air conditioners, four generators, four LED TV, four mobile phones, four washing machines, two inverters, two iPad air and two smart phones were also won by lucky customers, in an event that was monitored by the regulatory agencies in the lottery sub-sector.

Speaking at the grand draw, Dami Oruwari, head of advantage banking, Ecobank Nigeria, said the campaign showed that the bank had a lot of loyal customers, saying “Ecobank is a pan-African bank and is present in 36 countries in Africa.

“We have a lot of products to service customers’ needs. This promo is more like one of the things we do. We like to reward our loyal customers. It is a continuous thing, it is not what we do one-off and so I will implore everyone here today to spread the good news. It is real and you can see that what we are doing at Ecobank is genuine.”

The promotion gives participating customers the opportunity to win over N10 million cash prizes and loads of other rewards at both bi-monthly regional draws and grand draws through the promotional period that ended in February 2015.

Announcing the second edition of the promotion in Lagos last year, Tony Okpanachi, deputy managing director of the bank, said the bank decided to run this second edition of the promo following the success and testimonials recorded in the previous edition.

He said feedback from customers was positive and impressive, adding that, the promo was also the bank’s contribution towards the financial inclusion strategy of the Central Bank of Nigeria.
