Alauddin, a Bangladeshi expatriate in Malaysia, has clinched the fifth plot in the country's largest Eid campaign "Nagad e Jomi" launched by Nagad, a leading mobile financial service provider in Bangladesh.
Alauddin won the plot by sending home remittances through this MFS provider, according to a press release on Monday.
Nagad Deputy Chief Marketing Officer Muhammad Solaiman and popular TV actor Ziaul Hoque Polash flew to Malaysia and handed over the land documents to Alauddin, recently.
A total of eight lucky winners participating in the campaign will receive plots as gifts. This was the first land handover to a migrant worker and the fifth in total under the campaign, added the release.
Previously, national cricket team all-rounders — Mahmudullah Riyad and Mehidy Hasan Miraz and the world's best all-rounder and former captain of Bangladesh national cricket team Shakib Al Hasan handed over the land’s documents to a few winners on behalf of Nagad.
Under the "Nagad e Jomi" campaign, Bangladeshi expatriate workers living in different countries are eligible to win land in Dhaka by sending home a minimum of Tk 5,000, excluding government incentives, in remittances through Nagad.
Hailing from a village of Munshiganj, Alauddin works at a utility services setup company in Malaysia.
He sent remittances to his mother's Nagad account and became the lucky winner of a piece of land in Dhaka’s Purbachal Probashi Palli.
Alauddin expressed his gratitude to Nagad for making his dream come true, the release further added.
Md Shihab Uddin Chowdhury, deputy managing director of Nagad Ltd, said, "Remittance earners hugely contribute to our economy. They are one of our main pillars for economic development. Our ongoing mega campaign to give them a chance to win land in Dhaka is part of our efforts to honour their contributions. We feel proud to have handed over a piece of land to a remittance fighter."
On the occasion of Eid, Nagad came up with a never-seen-before offer for its customers to win land in Dhaka. Purbachal Probashi Palli Group, a leading real estate company in Bangladesh, joined hands with Nagad as the land partner for the ongoing mega campaign.
During the campaign, Nagad customers stand a chance to win dream plots in Dhaka by following three easy steps. They can also win many other exciting mega gifts, including motorbikes, TVs, fridges, and smartphones worth Tk 20 crore, on individual transactions using this MFS.
Additionally, to participate in the "Nagad e Jomi" campaign, a Nagad customer must make a minimum of Tk 100 mobile recharge, or a minimum of Tk 500 payment, or a minimum of Tk 1,000 add-money.
Following any of the three transactions, they will instantly get a message that will confirm their eligibility to take part in the campaign. Then, a participant will create a team of three having active Nagad accounts, including himself or herself, and everyone in the team will have to remain active in transactions during the campaign period to stay in competition to win land in Dhaka.
