 Kampala, Uganda: Mr. Haruna Kassim (photo: left) is the eighth winner of a fully furnished apartment in the ongoing MTN 2010 FIFA World Cup promotion Goal of Goals. The announcement was made on Sunday following a live draw carried out on both UBC TV and NTV. Haruna a resident of Kibuli, Kitooro Zone was handed the keys to his newly acquired apartment today by MTN Chief Information Officer, Phrase Lubega.
The 24year-old S.6 leaver from Kololo High School was in a jovial mood as he received the keys to his apartment. “I am really very grateful. This is very great indeed.” He stated. “I was in Masindi over the weekend so I didn’t watch the draw and my phone battery was low. But when I returned and switched on my phone, I received a lot of beeps and calls and truthfully I didn’t know what was happening till I received a call from MTN,” added Haruna a salesman with Ariel detergent.
“MTN is very thankful to all the people that have taken part in the promotion thus far. However, to those not lucky enough to win the house, there are other prizes such as TVs, home theaters systems and even refrigerators,” said Lubega.
While urging MTN customers to continue participating in the promotion, he added, “Imagine winning a fully furnished apartment for spending as little as UGX 2,000 worth of airtime in a week. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. And there are four more houses to go.”
The MTN Goal of Goals promotion rewards those who use MTN airtime after a draw that is carried out every Sunday live on NTV and UBC TV. Apart from the fully furnished apartments, there are also Sony 32" Plasma TV sets, Sony DVD Home Theatre Systems and LG refrigerators, all selected to enhance the experience of the winners during the coming World Cup season.
The results of the final winners are verified and certified by renowned accounting and auditing firm, Ernst & Young.
