Allianz Nigeria, local operating entity of global insurance giant, Allianz, has announced an ongoing promotional offer for the ‘ember’ months of 2019. This will see the company providing free car service for car owners in Lagos state.
“Starting in September and through to December 2019, we are partnering with reputable auto garages to offer free car maintenance service in Lagos (oil change and oil filter change only) as a means of contributing to safe driving”, explained Walter Bossman, marketing & strategy chief at Allianz Nigeria. “The poor state of the roads coupled with the traffic situation in Lagos sometimes puts a lot of pressure on cars and drivers. The daily work commute can easily turn into a nightmare, unless one’s car is well-maintained” he clarifies.
The campaign is limited to Lagos State and is open to the general public save for employees of Allianz Nigeria. Entries will be accepted from September 9, 2019 to December 31, 2019 by 11.59pm.
To participate in the campaign, interested car owners are to SMS the keyword ‘CAR’ to 08171140000 after which, the company will contact them.
Uti Ellu, customer experience manager at Allianz Nigeria adds that a precondition for consideration of entries will be that all such entries are received through the dedicated number 08171140000. “We will contact drivers or owners of the eligible cars and recommend any of our partner auto garages nearest their location. No cash or other prize substitution shall be permitted.” she concluded
It will be recalled that the Allianz Nigeria had previously offered a Free Car Check initiative where free diagnostic car scans were offered to Lagos residents on a promotional basis. This latter initiative comes in the wake of the former to expand the scope of value offerings for road users in the thriving metropolis.
“We aim to be the insurer of choice by providing real tangible benefits for everyday Nigerians beyond the borders of commerce. As a responsible corporate citizen, we are duty-bound to think of ways to give back to our host community. We are determined to follow through with similar initiatives that bring real and immediate value to the people of our host communities”. Owolabi Salami emphatically enthused.
