Pastor Ignatius Ihejirika, winner of one of ten Lenovo educational grants worth N200,000 each

Speaking on his promo win, educational grant winner, Pastor Ignatius Ihejirika said: “I wanted to buy a phone and a friend recommended that I go for Lenovo because they make good products. When I got to the store, I found that their phonesare affordable. After I bought one, the sales assistant told me that she had registered me for the Lenovo National Promo but I did not give it a thought. Later I got a call informing me that I had won a N200,000 educational grant in the promo. At first I thought it could be a scam so I told people around me that I wasn’t going to give a testimony until I was sure that it wasn’t. I was invited to Lenovo’s offices after the call and found out that the promo is real.

I transferred the grant to my wife who is currently running a PhD programme at the University of Lagos and one of my children, whose school has already issued me a receipt of payment by Lenovo. When I finally gave the testimony in my church, everybody was amazed and said my story must be published! Thank you Lenovo!”
