Over 1,000 customers across Nigeria emerged winners at the second quarterly draw of the DiamondXtra Season 12 reward scheme held in Lagos recently.
Dominic Akaraka, an Access Bank customer and trader in Ogbaru market, Onitsha, Anambra State, was one of the lucky winners who could not contain his excitement. Reacting to reward, Akaraka said: “I have been banking with Access Bank for more than 10 years now. I have won the star prize of Salary-4-Life which means I would be paid N100,000 every month for 20 years. I am too excited and short of words. I am 59 years old with a wife and six children. Before I got this call from Access Bank, I and my family have been going through financial challenges and business has been very slow and unprofitable due to the lockdown and restriction of business activities within the state.”
