First boda winner announced in MTN MoMo promo

Nakawa Market in Kampala on Thursday came alive with jubilation as MTN MoMo handed over the first of 24 brand-new motorcycles, as part of its ongoing “Power to Be More” promotion. The winner, Aidah Nyamurwa, a restaurant owner in Nakawa market and a resident of Bugolobi, earned her prize by effectively using MoMo in her business operations, including accepting customer payments through her merchant code, as well as paying her own suppliers and bills through MTN Mobile Money. Nyamurwa has been a MoMo merchant for over a year and says the service has transformed the way she works. She enjoys the convenience of paying her utilities, buying airtime, and making supplier payments straight from her phone. Most importantly, she values the peace of mind that comes with MoMo’s security controls, which protect her from payment reversals, a problem she faced before joining the platform. The “Power to Be More” campaign is rewarding MoMo merchants and agents who are actively growing their transactions. Merchants can boost their chances of winning by increasing the number of MoMo payments they accept, and using MoMo for their own business expenses. Agents can qualify by growing the deposits they handle. According to MTN MoMo, one MoMo agent or merchant from any part of the country shall win a brand-new motorcycle every week until the end of the year. With 24 motorcycles up for grabs, the campaign is energizing small businesses and rewarding those who are powering their growth through MoMo. Nyamurwa’s win in Nakawa is only the beginning, and the next motorcycle could go to any qualifying merchant or agent. If you are a MoMo merchant or agent, your path to entering the draw is simple: keep transacting, keep growing, and keep using MoMo. Company officials said the more one transacts with MoMo, the more one’s chances of winning and riding away with a brand-new motorcycle courtesy of the MTN MoMo Power to Be More Promotion.
