The Consumer Protection Council (CPC) is to meet with MTN over the latter’s recharge and win promotion.
Mr Abiodun Obimuyiwa, the Deputy Director, Public Relations, CPC, who made this known to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Wednesday, did not disclose the date of the proposed meeting.
MTN had on August 17, in Lagos, launched the Ultimate Wonder, a new customer-based ‘recharge and win’ promo.
Customers are expected to win weekly cash prizes while the ultimate winner would go home with a Cessna 182TAeroplane in a grand prize presentation in October.
Obimuyiwa said the issue had agitated a lot of minds, adding that the council was concerned about it. “We have sent a letter to them and they have agreed to come for a meeting.’’
The deputy director however, said that “there is a pending court case on sales promotion between MTN and CPC as a result of which MTN did subject its promotions to CPC.’’
He added that reports from the Advertising Practitioners Council of Nigeria (APCON) showed that there was a 400,000 dollars invoice from MTN meant for the winner of the aircraft.

ReplyDeleteY not concentrate on using d money to improve d network service n nt dis trash..
ReplyDeleteMTN services are poor in Nigeria and yet they are talking about winning an aeroplane. Why not invest that money into providing the best services for consumers and expanding the network to cover the whole country. All these promotions are meaningless when there is no outstanding quality of service. Don't worry, God is bringing administrators that know what it is to run a good economy.
ReplyDeleteMTN improve your services and consumers will patronize you. Simple.
First and second anonymous very interesting comments. Now tell us where you will park if either of you win? ;)
ReplyDeleteI will like to use ds medium to ask you all if u have seen any of the proposed Hyundai ix35 dat was meant to b won by customer in their last promo. They just ripped pple of their money and give nothing back. It's just so sad.
ReplyDeleteThis MTN people self, with their poor services delivery, substribers shud recharge and win AEROPLANE. For this Naija! Haba! Wat are they taking us for?
ReplyDeleteM U M U ? Am sure some gullibles will rush into this.
It is alL HOAX. CPC and NCC should put a STOP to IT.
Well, I dont know about a plane. But my colleague won the brand new Hyundai ix35, painted yellow. As in, very very sweet. We are all envious of him. So it's very true about the cars but I dont know about the plane.
ReplyDeleteMTN is not fake,but they should try and be considerate with the treatment meted out to subscribers.If MTN can not afford bonuses to subscribers,no one is forcing them rather than,give 10 percent call bonus and 90 percent text bonus,we are no fools.Thank god there are competitors,for now MTN may be the largest gsm telecomms,but tomorrow you cant be too sure.I have most network anyway.
