“This promo also demonstrates our philosophy that customers are at the core of our business, so we continue to prioritize them in our decisions.

“We have made sure that everyone is covered from new to existing customers, including customers who have not used their lines for some time; there is something exciting for everyone,” Mr Sinfield had said at the launch of the campaign.

Customers are expected to simply recharge their lines with N200 or more to participant in the promo to win a smartphone every hour or top-up N1000 and above to win the N1 million daily prize.
