This draw was conducted under the supervision of the National Lottery Authority (NLA), who assured that customer information used for participation was verified independently, ensuring fairness and compliance with promotion requirements. CalBank's Chief of Staff, Kwame Danso, welcomed attendees to what he called a significant milestone in a campaign aimed at recognizing loyal customers, assuring the public that the draw would be straightforward and law-abiding. Head of Consumer Banking, Stephen Essien, emphasized the promotion's dual purpose: to incentivize savings and acknowledge customer loyalty. Dr. Amos William Abaidoo, Head of Marketing, Brands and Communications, expressed gratitude to the Bank's team, the NLA, partners, and customers for their active involvement. He highlighted the excitement surrounding Abakade and the customers' enthusiasm for saving, promising more draws with increasingly valuable prizes. The CalBank Abakade Promo is a three-month initiative designed to motivate customers to save while offering them chances to win cash prizes. Following the confirmed five winners, the promotion will continue, culminating in a Grand Draw where a single customer will receive GH¢100,000. CalBank encourages its customers to continue saving, participating, and staying engaged with future promotional events.",
