Vivo Energy Uganda has handed over 2 brand new taxi vans and 2 motor bikes to lucky winners in the just concluded Juzza Akameeza promotion. The prizes were handed over to the winners amid excitement during a grand draw held at the Old Taxi Park.
The Juzza Akameeza promotion sought to reward Taxi and Truck drivers who use both Shell Rimula Diesel Engine oils and Shell Fuel Save Diesel in their taxi vans and trucks.
Speaking at the handover ceremony, Vivo Energy Uganda Managing Director, Gilbert Assi thanked the customers for their continued support and loyalty towards the Shell brand. “Our customers are at the heart of our business, it is therefore no surprise that we appreciate the taxi and truck drivers. This vital segment spends a lot of time on the road and derives livelihood from their vehicles. Our high quality products, Shell Fuel Save Diesel and Shell Rimula Diesel engine oils are designed to deliver more value to the drivers and reduce their operation costs so they can have more money left over for themselves and their families.”
“Through our Juzza Akameeza promotional campaign, we have given both taxi and truck drivers an opportunity to transform their lives by becoming business owners. Twelve drivers have won brand new motor bikes and 2 have won brand new taxi vans among other amazing prizes won through the course of the campaign.” He added.
The four-month long countrywide campaign has seen a total of 12 regional draws conducted at various taxi parks around the country with drivers bagging prizes worth over UGX 250 million. These prizes include 2 brand new taxi vans worth UGX 130,000,000, 12 motor bikes worth UGX 50,000,000 and household items including sugar, rice and salt worth UGX 70,000,000.
Mr. Yusuf Wavamuno, winner of one of the two brand new taxi vans said he could not believe his luck. Yusuf, a taxi driver who plies the Jinja – Kampala route said he stopped for a Shell Fuel Save Diesel refill at Shell Clock Tower and was asked to participate in the campaign. “This new taxi means a lot to me because I now have an extra source of income for myself and my family. Thanks to Vivo Energy Uganda, I now own a brand new taxi, my life has truly been changed! I encourage other taxi and truck drivers to continue using Shell Fuel Save Diesel and Shell Rimula Diesel engine oils.”
Vivo Energy remains committed to the taxi and truck drivers and additional offers have been lined up for this segment during the course of this year.
To participate in the Juzza Akameeza promotion, drivers simply had to spend UGX 50,000 on Shell Fuel Save Diesel or service their vehicles with Shell Rimula Diesel engine oils. The campaign attracted participation from over 6,000 taxi and truck drivers.
