Sampson Aneke, group general manager, retail, digital and transaction banking while speaking about the draw said, “today we rewarded about 65 people and next year we will have almost three or four times the budget that we will reward. We will reward multiple people next year”.

He stated that the promo is a way by which the bank is giving back to the society and appreciating its customers for standing with them over the years.

“At UBA, the welfare and ultimate success of our customers and their financial freedom is at the Centre of everything that we do and this is why we are making millionaires, either by supporting your business, or by rewarding you for saving.

“The winners will definitely have an exciting end of year celebration indeed and I’m happy that I can say that UBA has kept its word, we have rewarded our customers with the happiness and love they truly deserve,” he added.

Meanwhile, the draw which was held at the UBA House on Friday had various representatives from the Consumer Protection Council (CPC), the National Lottery Regulatory Commission (NLRC), and the Lagos State Lottery Board in attendance, who ensured transparency and accountability during the session.
