Glo ‘Festival of Joy’ promo
It was a dream come true for a civil engineering contractor, Ayobami Adejumobi, as he was presented with the keys to a brand new Toyota Prado which he won in Globacom’s ‘Festival of Joy’ promotion.
The 42-year-old who was accompanied by friends and relatives, was presented the vehicle by Glo officials and the Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat.
Speaking at the event, Adejumobi thanked Globacom saying, “I still can’t believe it. A call came from Globacom and the news was too good to believe. I doubted it. Could it be fraudsters? However, I remembered the promo and how I joined when it was launched, and I immediately proceeded to the Gloworld on Adeola Odeku where Glo officials were expecting me. I thank Glo for this prize. I will use the jeep personally; it will enhance my status and help me to get more jobs as a civil engineering contractor.”
Other winners at the event also commended Globacom for providing platform for many Nigerians to win prizes. Bukola Olatunji, from Ijebu-Ode who won a tricyle said,”I have always been a faithful participant in various Glo promos and have never lost hope that I would one day become a winner.”

The Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat who was the special guest of honour commended Globacom for such thoughtful promotions. He said: “The good thing is that this is happening at a difficult time in the country. We must thank Glo for this and just pray that next year, it will be bigger. We would love the Chairman, (Dr Mike Adenuga), to make it twice this size next year. May God continue to bless the company”.
