Firm Rewards Customer With 3-Bedroom Flat

The Aso Savings and Loans Plc last Saturday in Abuja rewarded one of its customers with a three-bedroom flat in Kuje, Abuja, after she won the company’s 2011 My House Account raffle draw.

Reports say that some other customers received consolation prizes, which included 50 microwave cookers, 30 refrigerators, 30 plasma television sets and 40 deep fryers.

Mr Inuwa Mohammed, the Executive Director of the bank, told reporters that the aim of the promo was to reward its loyal customers, as well as encourage Nigerians to imbibe the culture of saving.

“This is the third time we are doing this and the whole idea is a kind of give back to our customers and to appreciate their loyalty over time.

“The ultimate objective is to encourage people to open their accounts, save and at some point if they find houses they want to buy, we can provide them mortgage.

“And they can buy the houses and pay in installments over a period of 10 to 15 years,” Mohammed said.

He said that the names for the final draw were generated from its nationwide customers with “My House Account.”

The managing director said that the names were selected through a computer programming that selected 100 names on monthly basis over a period of six months.

He said that the names for the promo were from all its customers across the country.

He also said that the names of the winners would be publicly announced on the electronic media and published in selected national dailies.

Mohammed, who urged Nigerians to cultivate the habit of saving, also advised people to open an account with the bank to assist them to own their own houses.

“That is the best that can happen to you,” he said.
