…as Tafidan Kano Lauds Initiative
Buhari Aminu has emerged the third millionaire in the on-going Skye Bank Millionaire Reward promo Season II.
The 3rd draw which held at 1, Ibo Road, Sabon Gari (Bata roundabout), Kano on Thursday, was graced by the Tafidan Kano Hakimin, Alhaji Mahamuda Ado Bayero who applauded the bank for its commendable efforts in encouraging savings culture in Nigeria.
Traders, artisans, students, businessmen and women in the city all trooped out to participate in the electronic draw which saw Buhari Aminu, a petty trader that banks with the Ibrahim Taiwo branch of the bank in Kano emerged as the 3rd millionaire; while over 30 other customers also won other cash and gift prizes.
Expressing his delight after the winners’ cheque presentation, Alhaji Mahamuda Ado Bayero, Tafidan Kano Hakimin, who doubles as District Head, Fagge Local Government, said “We are not surprised that a bank like yours is rewarding customers for keeping their monies with you. To say the least, this is what we need at this moment in our country. We need to save more for better tomorrow and we are happy Skye Bank is taking the lead in this case.”
An excited Buhari could not hold back his joy when his name was announced as the mega winner of the coveted prize. According to the new millionaire, “I initially thought it was a scam when someone called me that I won 1 Million naira because I did not play any raffle draw. But today, I believed, when the cheque was presented to me. I could not believe myself that I am a millionaire just like that. I pray Allah to continue to bless Skye Bank. I am now an apostle of the bank from today.”
10 customers won the sum of N100,000 and N50,000 respectively; while 20 other customers won N20,000 each. Also, gift items such as table top fridge, generator, table top gas cookers, mobile phones, blenders, recharge cards and table top gas cooker were also given to other winners as consolation prizes.
