Targeted at both prepaid and post-paid customers, the point-based promo launched on June 18, 2015 and lasted for 60 days. Customers were required to accumulate points by carrying out activities such as airtime recharge, voice call, browsing, SMS, etc. in order to increase their chances of winning.
The promo produced 60 millionaires while many other customers won cash prizes ranging from N1m, N100,000 and N5,000 as well as free airtime and SMS.
According to President of the Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry Awards, Mr. Tony Ejinkonye, the modality for selecting the ‘Most Innovative Business Idea’ was based on the number of new products and services rolled out by the organization.
