Photos: MTN surprises UNILAG professor with brand new car
Surprises
seem to be the name of the game, as MTN, in continuation of its Season of
Surprises campaign, yesterday surprised the former Dean of Student Affairs,
University of Lagos, Professor Harrison Oloruntade Dele Longe with a brand new
KIA Car.
The
MTN Season of Surprises team, on arrival at the University of Lagos, had
beckoned on Professor Longe to come and present gifts of iPhone 6, to some
lucky students. However, Professor Longe never knew he was in for the surprise
of a life time, as his name was later announced as the beneficiary of the star
surprise of the day, a brand new, Year 2014 KIA car.

An
excited Professor Longe seems to be saying, as he embraces, MTN’s Richard Iweanoge
after receiving his surprise car gift from MTN.

An
obviously elated Professor longe, could not hide his excitement, as he said
“This is the best gift I have ever received in my life. How will I explain this
to my wife? How? They just told me that I have to come and present a gift to
some of my students, and it turned out that I am now a proud owner of a brand
new 2014 KIA car. Now I know, that one should continue to do whatever he knows
how to do best. I was just doing my own thing, not knowing that some people
will come and appreciate me with this unexpected largesse”. What MTN has done
today, shows that gone are the days when people say that teacher’s rewards are
in heaven; our rewards are now here with us. The Professor, who could not hide
his joy, instantly ordered his driver to take him round the school premises
with the MTN branded car.
MTN
as part of its Season of Surprises campaign had earlier called on students in
Nigerian tertiary institutions to nominate some of their teachers whom they
feel deserves a pleasant surprise from the company. Professor Alonge was
therefore, nominated for the award by the students of the University of Lagos.
Some of the students who nominated him were also not left out in the surprise
package, as AmudaTosin, ShadareOluwaseun
andAdeyemi, Monsurat were among
the lucky students who received gifts of an iphone 6 from MTN.
