Teenager Wins House In Glo Festival Of Joy Promo

A teenage undergraduate of Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti, Ibrahim Akindele, has won a 3-bedroom apartment in the ongoing Glo Festival of Joy promo. He thus became the first winner in the promo.

The 19-year-old Akindele, a 200-level student of Science Laboratory Technology, could hardly contain his joy and excitement while being presented the keys to the apartment in Ibadan on Wednesday, November 16.

Having promised subscribers an exciting and rewarding experience, telecommunications giant, Globacom, set the ball rolling with the presentation to Akindele.

The first of the planned presentations had the Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Mr. Debo Ogundoyin, and other key members of the state legislature on hand to hand over the keys of the apartment to the winner.

An overly excited Ibrahim disclosed that he was very skeptical at first when he was called to inform him of the good news.“I was in disbelief, I thought it was just someone making fun of me. It took me some time to get over that feeling”, he said. Ibrahim however, said that the decision on how to put the new apartment to use would be left for his parents to make.

His 54-year-old mother, Mrs. Funmilayo Akindele, was also filled with joy at the presentation and she displayed it for all to see.

She disclosed that “the house will be a place of refuge for Ibrahim and his older brother while we will be coming to spend weekends with them”.

Speaking at the event, Globacom’s Head of Operations, West Territory, Mr. Akeem Yusuf, noted that the promo “is another opportunity for the company to reward its subscribers with amazing prizes in line with our commitment to the continued empowerment of our customers. ww
