THE Diamond Bank Plc has held its Diamond Xtra Savings draw for its customers in the Northern region in Abuja. The draw, which was held recently at the Diamond Bank, Nyanya branch, was the continuation of its annual Diamond Xtra Savings Draw, which is in its 8th season.
A statement from the bank said the Bank segmented the draws to cover all the major geo-political zones in Nigeria in line with its commitment towards ensuring that all its customers had a chance to win in the promo. At the event, Osita Ede, head, Mass Markets, Diamond Bank, said the main aim of the promo was to encourage a savings culture in the populace and of course, to also put a smile on the faces of their customers.
Since the beginning of the promo, the bank has created more than 4,500 millionaires and given out billions of Naira to reward its customers. To qualify for the monthly draw, a customer has to maintain a minimum monthly balance of N5,000 while additional deposits will count as multiple entries and increase the customer’s chances of winning.
Officials from KPMG and the National Lottery Regulatory Commission were also on hand to vouch for the authenticity and transparency of the promo. A representative of KPMG, the audit firm in charge of the validation process for the promo, Kenneth Ukanwa, said the processes put in place for picking eventual winners and even those qualified for the promo was transparent and above board.
Some of the past winners were also at the occasion to testify and talk about their experiences on winning. Rabiat Jubril Guzzau, a customer from Nassarawa State, who won N1 million, said she had just opened the account in May only to be called up in October that she had won the sum of N1 million.
A representative of the National Lotto Regulatory Commission also assured the audience that even though some of the winners announced were not present, the commission would ensure that they were duly rewarded with their winnings. Forty names were announced as winners in the Diamond Savings Xtra draw with the grand prize of a Hyundai SUV being carted away by Udochukwu Unigwe from the Diamond Bank branch in Jalingo.
