Ossai Ovie Success, convener of the Delta Social Media Summit, has announced a ₦500,000 cash grant and an ambassadorial role for the United Bank for Africa (UBA) graduate trainee involved in a recent viral exchange with group chairman Tony Elumelu.

The offer follows widespread online criticism directed at the young professional after she addressed the bank chief by his first name during a corporate graduation ceremony, prompting Elumelu to publicly clarify corporate etiquette expectations.

Details of the Support Package

In a public statement posted online, Success urged social media users to show empathy rather than subject the young woman to online harassment. The offered package includes:

  • Financial Assistance: ₦500,000 direct cash support.

  • Brand Ambassadorship: A formal ambassador role for the annual Delta Social Media Summit.

  • VIP Experience: Sponsored round-trip flight tickets, 5-star hotel accommodations, and full VIP access to the 4th Edition of the summit on Thursday, August 27, 2026, in Asaba, Delta State.

  • State Tour: A guided tour of state development projects in Delta State.

Call for Compassion

Addressing the mental health impact of online trolling, Success noted that while corporate corrections are valid, public humiliation should be avoided. He appealed to the public to help connect him with the lady so she can leverage the platform to share her perspective constructively.
