Ayo Liadi urged other customers to take advantage of the subsequent opportunities the remaining two quarterly draws offer.
According to Liadi: “There is no better time to give back and delight customers than this challenging economic period where people need all the support they can get to make life more meaningful. With this in mind we decided to prioritise our customers as we always do at UBA by giving them plenty to cheer about and that is the reason why another 20 more customers have been made millionaires today”.
“During the recent cheque presentation to the first quarter lucky winners, I watched with bated breath how happy and elated each of the winners became. You could easily see the joy and happiness in their eyes indicating that the N1.5m would make a huge impact in their lives. That in itself will spur us to do more in fulfilling their dreams” he said.
In his remark, UBA’s Head of Retail Liabilities, Tomiwa Sotiloye noted that the promo was consistent with the bank’s novel initiatives in prioritizing customers, adding that the invaluable belief the Bank has in its customers necessitated the promo.
“We will continue to listen and give them nothing short of the best that they deserve. UBA will not relent, because we are impressed with the impact this has made so far and will continue to touch the lives of our loyal customers positively”. Sotiloye noted.
According to the bank, the criteria for qualifying for the draw is to save at least N30,000 in one’s UBA savings account or in instalments of N10,000 each for a period of three months.
