The Lagos State House of Assembly has lampooned
telecommunication giant, MTN, over its wonder promo.
Chairman of the House Committee on Information, Strategy,
Security and Publicity, Hon. Segun Olulade, blasted the firm
for encouraging Lagosians to participate in the promo that
promises luxurious gifts such as aero plane with a fee of
N200. The promo, he said, has the tendency to contribute to the growing trend of moral decadence in the society.
Olulade said it creates the impression among youths that there are undignified short cuts to wealth, negating the ideals of labour and responsibility.
He argued that marketing hypes of this kind would go a long way to further insult the collective intelligence of Nigerians and defeat the purpose they are meant to serve.
The lawmaker advised MTN to consider the far- reaching
implications of the controversial promo on its brand’s
integrity in Nigeria, especially if the promises are not
fulfilled.
He urged MTN to devise more dignifying sale strategies and
intensify efforts in the area of Corporate Social Responsibility CSR).
He called on the Nigeria Communication Commission (NCC) as well as the Consumers Protection Council (CPC) to critically look into the modalities surrounding the various
business promos in the country.

No one ever wins anything. They`re having a field day with all these fake promos with no winners. MTN is supposed to be sent packing.

I agree with you.

The game is as simple as ABC.
They will hire someone to perfome as the winner naa, unto Naija level.

Naija is too big to be deluded by MTN.

Peace be with ya.
