Technology giant, Globacom, is celebrating 22 years of transforming Nigeria’s telecommunications landscape and empowering millions of Nigerians. The company expressed deep gratitude to its loyal customers, whose trust and patronage have remained the bedrock of its success since it commenced operations on August 29, 2003.
From inception, Globacom distinguished itself by challenging the status quo. It was the first mobile network in Nigeria to introduce per-second billing and drastically reduce the cost of SIM cards, making mobile access affordable for millions.
Over the past two decades, the company has consistently driven innovation and infrastructure development. It has built one of Africa’s most extensive fiber optic networks, connecting cities, towns, and underserved communities. Glo also pioneered Glo 1, Africa’s first privately owned submarine cable, delivering immense broadband capacity to Nigeria and fueling the nation’s digital economy.
Beyond infrastructure, Glo has introduced a wide range of affordable and innovative voice and data services, enabling individuals, businesses, and institutions to stay connected and thrive in an increasingly digital world.
Globacom’s contributions extend beyond telecommunications. The company has been a strong supporter of national development through strategic investments in sports, entertainment, education, arts, and culture. It has also been instrumental in projecting Nigerian and African talent on the global stage.
“As we reflect on these achievements, we remain steadfast in our mission to lead Nigeria and Africa into a fully digital future,” Globacom affirmed. “We will continue to invest in next-generation technologies, expand data services, and create platforms that power innovation, e-commerce, fintech, entertainment, and everyday life. Globacom is 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.”
Globacom reaffirmed that its vision remains centered on building a connected and empowered Nigeria, with its customers at the heart of everything it does.
