Expressing his heartfelt appreciation in an emotion laden voice, Olatunji thanked Globacom for making him a multi-millionaire overnight, adding “I’ll invest part of this money in my poultry business and also use part of it to purchase a truck”.

Welcoming guests earlier, Globacom’s Executive Director, Legal Services, Mrs. Gladys Talabi, said the promo was an initiative to reward the company's subscribers for keeping faith with the network.

“The reward scheme was launched by Globacom despite the current economic challenges to appreciate our customers who are the focal point of our operations by making over one thousand of them richer and turning others into multimillionaires,” she explained.

Mrs. Talabi stated that more winners would emerge in the days ahead, and encouraged existing and new subscribers to avail themselves of the opportunity to become millionaires in the promo by sending ‘GLO’ to 555 and answering a simple football question.

In a remark, the acting Managing Director, Bank of Industry, Mr. Waheed Olugunju thanked Globacom Chairman, Dr. Mike Adenuga Jr, for building a world class Telecoms Company like Globacom which he noted could compete with any telecoms company in the world.

“He is one person who connects with people at the bottom pyramid and that is why we are here to identify with this. Those of you who won 100k that could be the beginning of your journey to becoming a Mike Adenuga of tomorrow. We at BOI are available to support you and hold your hand. We have our consultants and experts who will advise you on the type of business you can go into in your immediate environment."

The Speaker of Ogun State House of Assembly, Hon Adekunmbi, said,”Globacom has done a lot for Nigerians. It liberated Nigerians with the per second billing it introduced at inception."
