Indigenous telecommunications giant, Globacom, has expressed deep appreciation to its millions of subscribers in Nigeria and across the globe, whose trust and loyalty have been the foundation of its remarkable 22-year journey.
In a thank you message to its customers, Globacom said,
“22 years of Glo is a story of resilience and strength, and through every storm, you, our loyal subscribers, have powered our network. With every connection, you have fuelled our growth”.
From commencement of operations on August 29, 2003, the company has remained unwavering in its mission of empowering lives and transforming businesses.
Glo reshaped the telecoms landscape, becoming the first network in Nigeria to introduce per-second billing and drastically reduce SIM acquisition costs, bold steps that gave mobile access to millions of Nigerians.
To strengthen international connectivity, Glo launched Glo 1, the first privately owned submarine cable in Africa. The facility has delivered unmatched broadband capacity and propelled Nigeria’s digital economy.
For more than two decades, Globacom has continued to drive trailblazing innovations within the industry.
This milestone includes a sweeping network expansion, powered by one of Africa’s widest fiber optic backbones, seamlessly connecting cities, towns, and underserved areas.
Globacom has also introduced an array of innovative solutions and affordable voice and data plans that broaden communication access and empower individuals, businesses, and institutions.
Not limited to telecommunications, Globacom has made significant contributions to national development by investing in sports, entertainment, education, arts, and culture, while promoting Nigerian and African talent on the global stage.
Reflecting on its accomplishments, Globacom stated:
“As we reflect on these achievements, we remain steadfast in our mission to lead Nigeria and Africa into a fully digitalized future. We will continue to invest in next-generation technologies, expand data services, and create platforms that will power innovation, e-commerce, fintech, entertainment, and everyday life. Globacom will stay committed to providing limitless opportunities for individuals and businesses. The future is bright, and together we will march into a new era of boundless possibilities”.
