LAGOS, JANUARY 17, 2017 – Fidelity Bank Plc on Tuesday said an outstanding sum of N64 million would still be disbursed to its account holders and customers under the ‘Get Alert in Millions Savings’ promo targeted at deepening financial inclusion.
Mrs Chijioke Ugochukwu, the bank’s Executive Director, Shared Services, stated this at the first quarter edition presentation ceremony of the bank’s Get Alert In Million Savings Promo in Lagos.
Ugochukwu said the bank had so far distributed a total of N32 million to winners that emerged since the promotion started in August 2016.
She called on the account holders and customers to key into the bank’s financial empowerment strategy programme, before the closure of the promotion.
Ugochukwu said that the promo was part of efforts at supporting and encouraging the culture of savings in Nigeria and financial inclusion.
She said that the promo, which was the sixth in the series the bank had conducted in the last nine years, was structured to make savings account holders millionaires.
Ugochukwu said that the bank was committed to wealth creation among its customers, adding that the promo had provided a great impact in the lives of the winners and their families.
Customers that were rewarded with cash prizes for the fourth monthly promo across the country included Baba Ali Yusuf, a Maiduguri branch customer who won N1 million and Samuel Benjamin Idoroh in Abuja, who also won N1 million, among others.
Attah Maria Edugwu, a Lagos customer who won N1 million, expressed her gratitude to God for using the bank to add value to her life.
“This is the first million in my account this year and I pray it will continue to be so,” she said.
Edugwu said that she would use the money to buy land and venture into fish farming.
