By Modupe Gbadeyanka

An onion seller based in Kaduna State, Mr Dahiru Umar, has won a brand new car in the Access Bank Transact and Win a Car promotion.

Mr Umar, shortly after he grabbed the keys to the vehicle at the regional office of Access Bank in Abuja, expressed his excitement, informing journalists at the event that he has been a customer of the bank for more than 14 years.

He used the occasion to advise Nigerians to patronize Access Bank in order to enjoy the benefits that come from it.

After presenting him the Hyundai Accent car, the Regional Sales Director, Abuja/North-West, of the bank, Mr Aminu Inuwa, said, stated that brief ceremony was a demonstration of the bank’s commitment to fulfilling its promises to its customers.

“We also have about 720 customers that can transact and win from N1,000 up to N1 million.

“This is our first grand prize of a vehicle won by Dahiru Umar, one of the bank’s customers who is doing business at Nnewi and resides in Kaduna State.

“So, today, we have gathered here to inform everybody and our teeming customers- even if you have an account in Diamond Bank initially now Access Bank and even if your account is dormant, you can activate your account and have the chance to win these prizes,” he said.

Mr Inuwa added that the bank had witnessed a surge in its customer base since the flag-off of the promotion.

“We have witnessed tremendous progress as customers are trooping in to open many accounts. Some, who had allowed their accounts to be dormant, are also re-opening them because the campaign is targeted at the unbanked populace as well as existing customers.

“We want to bring financial inclusion closer to everybody’s home and that’s why we are into this campaign,” he explained.

On the duration of the promotion, he said that it was in its phase three and winners announced regularly, adding that, “We are targeting about 10,000 customers in the directorate and for the bank, we are targeting about 50,000 new customers and we will continue to engage more customers to open accounts with the bank.”
