IT was fun, sports and leisure put in one package as 123 journalists invited from all over Nigeria took part in the kick-off of the national consumer promotion, launched by Gulder, last week in Enugu.
The event which held at the Michael Okpara Square saw the journalists in a competition that was determined more by Mother luck than physical ability and intellect.
The journalists were asked to walk, run or even crawl round the expansive Michael Okpara Square, pick a box at one end and return to the starting point. When all had reached the finish point(which was indeed the starting point), they were asked to open the boxes.
Those who found one scroll in their boxes were asked to open them. Each scroll bore the diagram of an item. Any item one found in his box was his lot.
Those whose boxes bore two scrolls qualified for the final stage of the competition. In the end, Mr. Chuka Nnabuife who works with National Light newspaper in Anambra State, emerged the winner of first Hyundai Elantra car.
Other journalists went home with consolatory prizes.
Speaking on his feat Nnabuife said: “I feel highly rewarded by a brand that I have followed for over 21 years. Initially I never wanted to be a part of the Ultimate Chase but eventually I participated. I thank Gulder for creating this platform which I have benefited immensely from.”
