Telecommunications giant, Glo, has restated its commitment to the provision of world-class communications and digital services.
This, it said, was in line with its corporate resolve at launch to build a robust communications and technology infrastructure that would consistently deliver value to its esteemed customers.
The foremost telecoms company stated this in a statement issued to celebrate its 20 years of operations in the country.
“We will remain a catalyst for socio-economic empowerment not only in Nigeria but also in Africa.
“We will continue to invest massively in new technologies to exceed customer,” Globacom stated in the statement.
The telecommunications company also lauded the government and people of Nigeria for their support as since the commencement of operations.
It said it has been two decades of transforming the telecommunications landscape, fulfilling dreams, and positively affecting lives of millions of Nigerians.
Since inception in 2003, Globacom has been true to its resolve to provide world-class communications and digital services.
This has been through constant deployment of latest technologies, in line with its promise to build a robust ICT network infrastructure that would consistently deliver value to its esteemed customers.
Glo has been at the forefront of revolutionary changes in the telecommunications sector in Nigeria.
From inception, it crashed the cost of acquiring SIM cards in the country from more than N25,000 to just about N200.
The network also disappointed bookmakers as it launched operations on a Per Second Billing (PSB) platform, a feat others had earlier said was impossible to achieve until another five years.
The innovations Glo pioneered in Nigeria were Blackberry, Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), Magic Plus, Glo Direct, Glo Fonepals, Africhat, Glo Mobile Internet, GloFleetmanager, M-Banking and Glo Mobile Office, among others.
Glo was also the first telecoms company to launch 2.5G, 3G and 4G LTE networks.
It singlehandedly built an international submarine cable, Glo 1, to connect West Africa directly to the United Kingdom and the rest of the world.
It also connected 12 nations in the West African sub-region, including some of the countries that are landlocked.
Glo1 is credited with crashing the cost of internet services and is today the preferred cable system by global OTT providers.
The company connected thousands of kilometres of national fibre to all parts of Nigeria.
“As we celebrate our achievements these past 20 years, we wish to acknowledge that Globacom’s huge success is a result of the support of millions of Nigerians.
“We wish to thank them for their love and patronage and for the unprecedented confidence they have consistently shown in the company,” Globacom stated.
