Ninety lucky customers of Skye Bank Plc., across
different business locations of the Bank, have emerged as winners and received
their prizes in the recently-concluded Skye Bank and Western Union® “Better
Life” Promotion.
The
three-month campaign, which ran from
December 5, 2016 to February 28, 2017, was
geared towards encouraging increased patronage of the Western Union® money transfer
service; and was specifically targeted to loyal customers who received or sent
their transfers in any branch or business location of Skye Bank.
At
the formal presentation ceremony which took place in Lagos, the Group Head of
Retail Group of Skye Bank, Mr. Ndubuisi Osakwe proudly presented prizes to the
90 winners.
According
to Mr. Osakwe, “the campaign encouraged increased patronage of the services of
the Western Union money transfer service and was specifically targeted at those
who collected their money directly from any of the over 300 Skye Bank Branches
across Nigeria.
“The
winners emerged by receiving at least a Western Union transfer through any Skye
Bank account from our over 300 Skye Bank branches nationwide within the
promotion period”, he said. According to him, “Each time a customer received
money via Western Union at any Skye Bank branch, they automatically qualified
for a draw entry and chance to be one of the lucky winners of business gifts.
Mr.
Osakwe further noted that the campaign, which ran from December 5, 2016 till
February 28, 2017 across all Skye Bank branches in Nigeria culminated in the
giving away of prizes in four categories namely; Maxi Generators to 10 winners;
Sewing machines to 20 winners; Laptops & Printers to 20 winners and Smart
Phones with Data Bundle to 40 winners.
One of the lucky star winners who went away with a
Maxi Generator, Mrs. Florence Ademiju Ojo, a Skye Bank customer of Osolo Way
Branch was full of excitement and expressed her gratitude to the management of
Skye Bank and Western Union for organizing the promotion to reward loyal
customers, pledging to spread the news amongst her friends.

to Mrs Ojo, “I received money through Western Union from different parts of the
world; from the United States of America, the United Kingdom and all over, from
both my biological children and other children that I raised up.”
“The
promotion is very nice. I thank Western Union and Skye Bank for this rewarding
program and pray that God will continue to lift up the two organisations.”
