Speaking at the launch which was held in Lagos at the
weekend, the Chief Executive Officer of Wakanow, Adebayo Adedeji said, “WakaPoints is a show of our
unflinching commitment to ensure that our customers have the best travel
experiences with us.
A lot of customers fly very often but don’t get anything in
return. However, we have decided that no matter which airline you chose to fly,
as long as you book through us, you are assured of a reward. You earn points
that can be used as currency to buy another ticket.
The good thing about this is that you can still earn miles
directly from the airline and also earn points with us. However, this program
is optional, free and does not come with any encumbrance or hidden charges. All
we are doing is that we are rewarding our customers for doing business with us.
“We cater for all travel needs from flights, hotels, holiday
experiences, visa consultation, COVID-19 test booking, among others and our
central focus is on the customer. We have 26 travel centers across Africa, and
we presently control 30 percent of outbound travel from Nigeria.
To say thank you, we are giving out 20,000 bonus WakaPoints
to all our customers who have ever booked for any service through our platform
in the past 13 years and the points are redeemable immediately.”
Speaking on how the rising cost of flight tickets would
affect the cost of booking through the platform, the Chief Commercial Officer
of Wakanow, Adenike Macaulay, said there are many affordable options which have
been tailored to meet the needs of travelers that they can chose from.
