A civil contractor, Ayobami Adejumo, was an embodiment of joy on Thursday as he received the keys to a brand-new Toyota Prado, at the Lagos prize-presentation event in the on-going Globacom ‘Festival of Joy’ promo.
The event which was held at Gloworld, Adeola Odeku, Victoria Island, also saw many Nigerians going home with different other prizes including Keke Napep, power generators, sewing machines and grinding machines.
Receiving the keys from the Special Guest Of Honour, the Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, a visibly elated Adejumo, an indigene of Osun State who resides in Lagos said,” 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 proceed to the Gloworld on Adeola Odeku where the Glo officials were expecting me. I thank Glo immensely 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”.
