Published

on

More customers are reaping the reward of their loyalty and patronage of Dangote Cement in Nigeria as the company made over 100 of them instant millionaires across the country in a single day in the ongoing Dangote Cement Plc Bag of Goodies Consumer Promo Season 3.

 

The presentation of cheques and other laudable gifts was done across the country on Wednesday and in Lagos alone, more than five customers won five million Naira each, while over 12 customers won one million Naira each respectively. Hundreds of customers were also presented with other consolation prizes which includes millions of Naira recharge cards, Generator sets, freezers, fridges, fans, air-conditioners among many others.

 

While the new millionaire costumers of Dangote Cement product jubilate over their good fortune and windfall, there are still better days ahead for other Nigerians, as the promo closes on October 31, 2022.

 

Speaking at the Dangote Promo winners event held yesterday in Lagos, the National Sales Director, Dangote Cement, Mrs. Funmi Sanni said the promotion was to encourage the customers to continue patronizing the cement product, which according to her, is the best in the country, in terms of quality and product accessibility.

 

She said Dangote Cement values the consumers who are the end-users of cement products.

 

According to her, “We are here to make more of our customers instant millionaires. This is part of our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in empowering our customers and helping them build their respective businesses. The promo was conceived as a way to thank them for their support and patronage…If you, our customers refused to buy our products, we wont have a choice than to close shops, but because you have been supporting our operations on a consistent basis, we are still in business and it is only normal for us to also give back to you, who are the reason why we are still in business…the Presentation of cheques and other gifts are being done across the country today and I am happy to inform you that we have done as we promised. The N1billion that was set aside for this Promo will go round our customers and at the end of this Season 3 Promo, hundreds of our customers will be millionaires and multi-millionaires”

 

Explaining the impact of the prizes, she said that if a retailer or block moulder wins N5 million, he or she is now capable of buying about two more truckloads of cement, which will increase his capacity, create more business for him and even more hands will be required to manage the expanded business. She explained that Dangote Cement is creating more indirect jobs through the promo.

 

The winners explained that they initially doubted the genuineness of the promo until they saw that people are winning and their prizes are being given to them. They then thanked the management of Dangote Cement for the good gesture.

 

It would be recalled that the Pan-Africa Cement manufacturer had last July unveiled a Spell Dangote and become Millionaires in a season 3 of its Bag of Goodies National Consumer promo, in Lagos during which the Company announced that 500 consumers would win a million naira each, while another 100 would win N5million within four months.

FG Airlifts Fourth Batch of Nigerians From South Africa, Last Evacuation Flight Set for Next Week [PHOTOS]

Published

on

The federal government’s fourth evacuation flight from South Africa has arrived at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos.

The Air Peace flight arrived last night with 282 returnees. This brings the total number of Nigerians repatriated from South Africa since the evacuation flights began on June 11 to 1,141.

Over 1,000 Nigerians were said to have indicated interest to return.

Last week, ahead of Thursday’s flight arrival, Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, minister of foreign affairs, asked Nigerians to take advantage of the ongoing exercise to return home.

Odumegwu-Ojukwu’s call came as two more Nigerians were reported dead in South Africa, bringing the official death toll of Nigerian citizens in the country since the xenophobic violence started to four. Some repatriated Nigerians have alleged that the figures are higher.

South African rights groups had set an unofficial June 30 deadline for undocumented migrants to leave the country, but repatriation flights have continued.

Odumegwu-Ojukwu assured that the federal government would ensure that no citizen who expressed interest to return home would be left behind.

Kimiebi Ebienfa, foreign ministry spokesperson, said the fifth flight will arrive in Nigeria next week.

It would be the government’s final flight.

Travellers in the United States who require Nigerian visas will now submit their applications directly to the Nigerian embassy and consulates after the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) disengaged its third-party visa application service provider.

Previously, Online Integrated Solution (OIS SERVICES) functioned as the operator of Nigeria’s visa application and submission centres in the US.

However, a statement issued Thursday by Akinsola Akinlabi, NIS public relations officer, said the operator has been disengaged effective immediately. Akinlabi did not state why.

“Travellers seeking Nigerian visas are now required to submit their applications directly at the embassy of Nigeria in Washington, DC, or at the consulates of Nigeria in New York and Atlanta until further notice,” Akinlabi said.

He conveyed the NIS’ assurance that the embassy and consulates have put adequate measures in place to ensure seamless submission, processing, and issuance of visas.

The immigration official noted that applicants are further advised to monitor the official communication channels of the NIS and the Nigerian mission in the US for updates on visa application procedures.

He added that the NIS remains committed to providing efficient service delivery.
