Nigeria's Tiketmobile in partnership with Nokia to improve its platform's usage

Share Tweet

http://www.techcityng.com

Nigerian technology startup based out of Lagos' Co-Creation Hub, Tiketmobile, has entered into a partnership with Nokia in order to increase usage of its platform.

 


The partnership will see Tiketmobile giving away a Nokia Asha 205 to any user who purchases a ticket using their platform between February 1 and March 31, 2013.

Celestine Ezeokoye, Founder and Chief Executive at Tiketmobile, explained they will be giving away five Nokia Asha 205s each month during the promotional period and that all users have to do is to "book or buy a ticket on www.tiketmobile.com and stand a chance to win a Nokia Asha 205".

The promotion works so when a user books a ticket, they become "eligible for one slot in the the draw".

To increase chances of winning one of the ten Nokia Asha 205s available a user can buy a ticket and become eligible for 3 slots. This increases chances of winning.

The promotion is open to Nigerian residents with a valid Nigerian phone number.
