…Pledges bold digital future

Telecommunications giant Globacom has expressed profound gratitude to its millions of subscribers in Nigeria and abroad, acknowledging their loyalty and trust as the driving force behind the company’s extraordinary 22-year journey.

In a statement issued to customers, the company declared: “Twenty-two years of Glo is a story of resilience and strength. Through every storm, you, our loyal subscribers, have powered our network. With every connection, you have fuelled our growth.”

Since launching operations on 29 August 2003, Globacom has remained resolute in its mission to empower lives and transform businesses. The company reshaped Nigeria’s telecoms industry by pioneering per-second billing and drastically cutting SIM card acquisition costs, moves that placed mobile access within the reach of millions.

To strengthen global connectivity, Globacom introduced Glo 1, the first privately owned submarine cable in Africa. The infrastructure has delivered exceptional broadband capacity and accelerated the growth of Nigeria’s digital economy.

Over the past two decades, Globacom has sustained a reputation for industry-leading innovation. Its achievements include large-scale network expansion, driven by one of the most extensive fibre optic backbones on the continent, linking cities, towns, and underserved communities. The company has also rolled out a wide range of innovative solutions and competitively priced voice and data packages, improving communication access for individuals, businesses, and institutions.

Beyond telecommunications, Globacom has invested significantly in national development, supporting sports, entertainment, education, arts, and culture while showcasing Nigerian and African talent on the global stage.

Reflecting on its milestones, the company stated: “As we look back on these accomplishments, we remain committed to leading Nigeria and Africa into a fully digitalised future. 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 will stay dedicated to providing limitless opportunities for individuals and businesses. The future is bright, and together we will march into a new era of boundless possibilities.”
