Fidelity Bank Plc has strengthened its commitment to financial empowerment and a savings-driven culture with the emergence of 20 new millionaires in the seventh and eighth monthly draws of its Get Alert in Millions (GAIM) Season 6 Savings Promo.
The draws, held at the bank’s Lagos headquarters, also featured a prize presentation ceremony for winners from the fourth, fifth, and sixth monthly draws.
Speaking at the event, Dr. Ken Opara, Promo Chairperson and Executive Director, Lagos & South West, represented by Chioma Nwankwo, Regional Bank Head, Lagos Central, said the initiative was designed to promote smart saving habits.
“At Fidelity Bank, we believe financial well-being begins with cultivating smart saving habits. GAIM 6 was created to reward consistent savers and help them secure a better financial future,” she stated.
Opara noted that beyond cash prizes, winners receive financial advisory services to help grow and manage their wealth effectively.
Ten winners each from the seventh and eighth draws were selected from across Nigeria’s geo-political zones. The draws were conducted electronically and monitored by the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) and other regulators to ensure transparency.
During the prize presentation, beneficiaries from previous draws, including Stephanie Onome Gere, Itua Michael Ehinomen, Maduabuchi Kalu Anya, and Chioma Grace Nnodim, received ₦1 million each. Nnodim described her win as “life-changing” and urged Nigerians to embrace a savings habit.
Now in its final month, GAIM 6 has awarded ₦85.4 million to 2,561 customers through various draws, including ₦60 million to 60 monthly winners, ₦7 million to 700 student Flex account holders, and ₦4.5 million to nine NYSC members. Special reward days saw ₦1 million each given on Women’s Day and Workers’ Day, ₦10 million on Children’s Day, and ₦7.7 million shared among 1,550 weekly consolation winners.
