The cheques were presented to the winners by the Managing Director of GTBank, Mr. Segun Agbaje, who congratulated each winner and wished them luck.
Speaking at the occasion, Mr Samson who came first in the contest expressed gratitude over the initiative.
His words: “It’s amazing to me because it’s an old book. I finished it in 2010 and kept it aside. It is really a Dusty Manuscript. I do more on poetry now and just brought it out for this competition. For a bank to promote books and unpublished authors, it is really wonderful and I’m grateful.“
