30 drivers win big in Shell promo

KAMPALA, Uganda— Thirty Ugandan drivers have hit the jackpot in the latest draw of Vivo Energy Uganda’s “Omunene W’ekkubo” campaign— taking home significant prizes, the company announced Saturday. The Shell-branded fuel and lubricant distributor continues to reward drivers across the nation for their reliance on Shell FuelSave Diesel.

The 30 lucky drivers, celebrated during the sixth week of the promotion, each walked away with a valuable package that includes UGX 200,000 worth of fuel, a Shell Gas cylinder for their homes, and a supply of premium Shell Rimula lubricants for their vehicles. The prizes are designed to directly benefit drivers by offsetting operational costs and providing essential resources.

The “Omunene W’ekkubo” campaign, now at its halfway point, specifically targets the hardworking taxi, truck, and bus drivers who keep Uganda moving. Their loyalty to Shell FuelSave Diesel is being recognized through weekly draws and prize giveaways.

Adding to the excitement, Vivo Energy also awarded 10 additional drivers with 6kg Shell Gas cylinders and another 10 with 10-liter packs of Shell Rimula lubricants. This wider distribution of prizes ensures that more members of Uganda’s driving community are acknowledged and rewarded.

Mark Mutungi, Brand Manager – Fuels at Vivo Energy Uganda, emphasized the importance of drivers to the nation. “These drivers are the lifeblood of our economy, facilitating trade and connecting us all,” he said. “Through this campaign, we are thrilled to be able to give back in a meaningful way and celebrate their crucial contribution.”

The Shell promo spans all four regions of Uganda – Central, Eastern, Northern, and Western – ensuring that drivers from every corner of the country have an equal opportunity to win. Weekly prizes also include fuel vouchers and branded merchandise, building anticipation for the grand prize draw where two brand-new Toyota Hiace Drone vans will be given away.

Joanita Menya Mukasa, Managing Director of Vivo Energy Uganda, reiterated the company’s commitment to supporting the driving community. “Our ‘Omunene W’ekkubo’ campaign is more than just a promotion; it’s a testament to our deep respect for the drivers who power Uganda,” she stated. “We are also investing in their long-term well-being through road safety initiatives and infrastructure improvements.”

Beyond the immediate prizes, the campaign incorporates a strong social impact agenda, including road safety education, defensive driving courses, and health awareness programs. These initiatives aim to create a safer and healthier environment for Ugandan drivers.

Participating in the Shell promo is straightforward: drivers simply need to purchase Shell FuelSave Diesel worth UGX 50,000 or more at any participating Shell service station to automatically enter the weekly draws.
