NIGERIA: GTBank rewards Traffic Wardens for selfless service all year round

From Enugu to Ekiti States, Lagos to the Federal Capital Territory, Traffic Wardens across the country are being surprised at their duty posts with Orange Sacks of gifts provided and delivered by Guaranty Trust Bank Plc.

The gifts, which include items for the festive season and beyond, were provided by the Bank as part of its #NominateAChamp Campaign.

The #NominateAChamp Campaign was created by GTBank to celebrate the selfless service of ordinary Nigerians who go beyond the call of duty to keep our roads safe and hassle-free. As part of the NominateAChamp campaigned, the bank called on members of the general public to nominate Traffic Wardens who have touched their hearts this year with their selfless service.

The bank received dozens of nominations from the general public, and accompanying some of these nominations were heartfelt messages of gratitude for the selfless service of the Traffic Wardens.

“He is very faithful and kind to road users,” said Godwin, who nominated a warden, by name Eze Peter, stationed at Abakpa, Enugu State.

“Even when it’s raining, he’s always there; lways dancing and smiling,” said Julius of the warden he nominated who is stationed at Banex, Abuja, F.C.T.

“She’s always on top of her game,” said Opeoluwa Adebiyi about Mrs Oyinlola, the Traffic Warden stationed at Awe Bustop, Mushin Road, Lagos. The Bank is now in the process of delivering the Orange Sack of gifts to the dozens of nominated Traffic Wardens across the country.
