LAGOS, NIGERIA — Passengers aboard selected United Nigeria Airlines (UNA) flights received an unexpected surprise on Monday, June 1, as the airline rewarded three lucky travelers with newly released Samsung Galaxy smartphones through its “Awesome Row” partnership with Samsung.

The winners, Hamid Ibrahim, Chidi Chinedu, and Gbenga Bello, were selected through an onboard lucky dip conducted on the Lagos to Abuja and Abuja to Lagos routes. The initiative also gave passengers exclusive in-flight access to experience Samsung’s latest Galaxy A57 and A37 smartphones.

“This partnership with Samsung is an extension of that mission because they share our belief in delivering the very best to Nigerians. Together, we wanted to create a moment that passengers would never forget.”

He congratulated the winners and reaffirmed the airline’s dedication to customer satisfaction.

“We are very thrilled for Hamid, Chidi, and Gbenga, and we congratulate them on their wins.
