Bank’s promise to add value to customers’ lives, in this case, by giving them

According to him, “We hold the targeted draws for a cluster
group, like the Law School where we have a significant number of students that
Bank with us. When a cluster group meets our requirements we hold these draws
to reward them for their loyalty as well as to encourage them to imbibe a savings
culture.
“This particular draw is targeted at the mass market
segment. This is our own way of encouraging more people to come into the
banking system in line with the CBN target of financial inclusion and to bring
more monies into the system instead of people hiding them under their pillows.
We have been doing this for a while and it has been successful. We also try to
follow up with our winners and offer them opportunities to invest their
winnings profitably. However, they are not compelled to do anything but those
who have responded have been successful and you will soon begin to hear their
testimonials,” he added.
