Speaking during the presentation of the gifts, Ufort Dorothy, non-executive director of Dangote Cement, commended the winners for patronising Dangote brand of cement.
Dorothy, who said Edo State was one of the major markets of the company, added that 50 trucks of Dangote Cement were deployed to the state daily.

The executive director, who said there were lot of Dangote Cement customers in the state, assured that in the next promo exercise three cars would be given to lucky winners.
Earlier, marketing director, Dangote Cement, Funmi Sanni, said out of the 43 cars to be won, nine have been won so far while 32 were yet to be won.
Sanni, who said the promo exercise that started July 1, 2019 would end September 30, 2019, added that it had so far taken place in seven states.
According to Sanni, we have so far visited seven states to give out cars and we still have a lot of cars to be won. “So, there are still more to be won. About 32 of them are to be won, and we expect customers to continue buying Dangote Cement, bring out the scratch card from it, scratch it and go to redemption centre to collect their gifts.
“The monetary value of what we have given out in Edo State today cannot be less than N50 million,” she said.
While describing Edo as the leader of cement marketing company in the state, she said, “Edo State is our market. We (Dangote) is 99 percent of the Edo State market share in terms of sales of cement.”

She however implored people in the state to always buy Dangote Cement for their cement needs, noting that the company’s cement product was highly qualitative, affordable as well to benefit from the company’s life changing and value incentives.
Responding on behalf of the beneficiaries, Momoh Ali commended the cement company for the promo, noting that the gift items would change their lives for better.
“I feel very happy for this honour done to me by the Dangote Cement plc. With just 10 bags of cement I am now a proud owner of GAC Saloon car. Today is the happiest day in my life.
“On behalf of my colleagues, I want to thank the management of Dangote Cement for living up to their promise. We will now more than before be committed to the buying of Dangote Cement,” he said.
