“So today we have gathered here to inform everybody and our teeming customers- even if you have an account in Diamond Bank initially now Access Bank and even if your account is dormant, you can activate your account and have the chance to win these prizes.”

Mr. Inuwa added that the bank had witnessed a surge in its customer base since the flag-off of the promotion.
