Airtel Ghana’s Head of Corporate Communications, Richard Ahiagble spoke to the rationale for the promotion. He said “As a business, we are passionately committed to enriching the lives of our customers beyond the provision of telecom and lifestyle solutions. This promotion was introduced to reward and empower our customers to live out their dreams. We are excited Wo Mmer? Nie is receiving such massive endorsement from Ghanaians across the country”.

He continued “Wherever we go, we have seen the excitement this promotion is driving. Our customers continue to respond positively to Ghana’s biggest recharge promo because it is delivering exactly what it promised.

Today, we are rewarding two customers – Samuel and Sheriff – who accumulated the highest points during week 6 and 7. In addition to the cash prizes that have been won so far, over 2.5 million customers have also benefited from instant prizes such as airtime, data bundles and smartphones. So whichever way you look at it, every Airtel customer is a winner. There is no better time to join the Smartphone Network than now – you could be the ultimate winner of the grand prize of GHC 150,000 in the promo”.

Winners’ comment

Samuel Obeng Amoako praised Airtel Ghana for introducing the promotion. He said “This is the most rewarding promo I have ever participated in. To think that I get GHC 10,000 just by recharging sounds too good to be true. But it is. I will keep playing for the grand prize of GHC 150,000. I will encourage Airtel customers who want to win like me to recharge using Airtel money as doing so gives them double points”.

Sherriff Jackson intends to invest his prize money into his graphic design business. “I will invest my GHC 10,000 into expanding my business”.

Grand prize of GHC 150,000

At the end of the promotion, the customer with the highest accumulated points wins the ultimate prize of GHC 150,000. The first and second runners-up take home a whopping GHC 100,000 and GHC 75,000 respectively.

SMS Trivia to build points faster
