It was jubilation galore in Port Harcourt yesterday as more Millionaires emerged in the ongoing Dangote Cement Bag of Goodies 3 promo. Encomiums poured in for the Management of Dangote Cement Plc from both the regulators and the winners.
Representative of the National Lottery Regulatory Commission (NLRC), Linda Owhloo-Oko said her commission has gone through every detail of the promotion and certified it good for the cement consumers and that her presence was to lend credence to the fact that the promotion is genuine.
She commended the management of Dangote Cement for the transparent manner it was conducting the promotion, saying “we have followed through since the commencement of the promo, we monitored to see that everything is done according to rules and Dangote Cement has passed all tests.
A Port Harcourt based block moulder, Noah Adefusi, who won the grand prize of five million naira(N5m) in the Dangote Cement Bag of Goodies Promo Season 3, could not contain his joy as he was called to speak on the promo.
Noah who is also a retailer of cement beamed with smiles as he received the alert of the prize money paid into his account. He said that he was initially skeptical of the promo and discarded it as a ruse until he started picking and keeping winning cards and completed the spelling of Dangote with one of the cards having an eagle. On presenting the cards at the redemption center, they were verified, and he was told to wait for the presentation event.
The reality of the promo win, then, dawned on him as he saw the dummy cheque with his name written on it at the presentation ceremony held at the Port Harcourt Depot 2 of Dangote Cement.
Confidence Illechukwu who won One million naira(1m) said that this is the second time he is winning one million in Dangote Cement Promo. According to him, he won one million at the last promo and in this new season, has also emerged as a winner. He said that he will continue to patronize Dangote Cement to enable him to continue winning.
The Regional Director, Sales, South-South, Dangote Cement Plc, George Okoro, described the ongoing “Bag of Goodies Season 3” National Consumer Promotion as a way of giving back to the consumers and retailers of the Dangote Group. He said that consumers and retailers are the backbones of Dangote Cement as a company.
According to him, the promo came at the right time as it will cushion the effect of the global economic downturn on people.
National Sales Director, Dangote Cement, Funmi Sanni, praised the winners and consumers of Dangote Cement as their patronage has kept the cement giant in the business. She said that block moulders deserve mention as they have continued to use Dangote Cement products, adding that majority of winners in the promo are from them.
Explaining the impact of the prizes, she said that if a retailer or block moulder wins N5 million, he is now capable of buying about two more truckload of cement, which will increase his capacity, create more business and even more hands will be required to manage the expanded business. She started that Dangote Cement is creating more indirect jobs through the promo.
