StarTimes gets CPC’s commendation on customer reward initiative

The Consumer Protection Council (CPC) has commended StarTimes for its role in providing a special rewards initiative for its numerous customers in Nigeria, through its recently launched StarTimes Extra Time Promo.

Speaking at the launch of the promo, Nicholas Utsalo, the senior public relations officer, Consumer Protection Council (CPC), who represented Tam Tamunokonbia, the head, CPC, Lagos office, applauded StarTimes for designing the new promo reward programme to encourage its customers.

He noted that the promo, which is StarTimes’ way of giving back to consumers, would definitely win the hearts of its pay-TV subscribers and endear more customers to the pay-TV platform.

“We are impressed at how far the company has come; we are impressed by the direction in which it is going,” he said.

Utsalo pledged CPC’s support for the promo, maintaining that StartTimes should continue to keep to the council’s regulations as it concerns its promo activities, adding that the role of the council is to ensure that the promo draws are carried out in a free and fair manner.

“CPC is here to support what StarTimes is doing, because we want the best for subscribers and the society at large. We will be present during the promo’s monthly draws to ensure that the promo rules are adhered to. We want StarTimes to keep the trend for the benefit of consumers. We would also like to see that the prizes are given to the right winners. I must commend StarTimes for the launch of Extra Time promo; without a doubt, the promo will win customers loyalty. It is definitely a step in the right direction,” he said.

Irete Anetor, public relations manager of the NTA-Star Network, explained that the promo was an innovative package that coincided with the FIFA World Cup.

“As such, StarTimes has produced a commemorative recharge card, tagged the Soccer card, for the promo period. We would also be giving out prizes on our official Face book page through our ‘Predict & Win campaign’ that would run throughout the FIFA World Cup period; we are aware that Nigerians have passion for soccer and this is our own little way of showing support for the Super Eagles during the FIFA World Cup season.”
