Since we commenced the promo in 2012, it has driven financial inclusion and promoted a savings culture in society, particularly in the unbanked segment. We have also used it to transform the lives of thousands of people nationwide. The draws took place nationwide, and winners emerged from every region. We thank all FCMB customers for their loyalty and congratulate all the winners. We will continue to reward our customers and deliver offerings that align with their personal and business aspirations. I advise the winners to make judicious use of their cash prizes.”
