Global money transfer firm, MoneyGram International, has rounded off this year’s edition of its ‘Share-the-Passion & Win-Big’ Consumer Promo with a public draw where seventy customers of its agent banks in the country emerged winners. The promo ran from January 19 to February 28 and offered MoneyGram customers who received money through any of the agent banks during the promo period a chance to enter for draws and win prizes ranging from smart phones to plasma TVs.
Out of the seventy winners that emerged at the draw which used a technology- driven process that treated a pool of 135,000 transaction entries from MoneyGram’s twelve agent banks in the country, twenty won plasma TVs while fifty others won Samsung Galaxy smart phones
The event which held in Lagos last week was witnessed by MoneyGram officials, representatives of agent banks, officials of the Consumer Protection Council (CPC) and the Advertising Practitioners Council (APCON), journalists and some invited guests.
In a brief remark, MoneyGram’s Regional Director, North and West Africa, Francois Peyret, described the Nigerian market as a key receiver corridor in Africa just as he congratulated the country for winning the recently concluded 2013 AFCON tournament, thereby re-stating her generally acknowledged position as giant of Africa.
