Globacom was honoured with the coveted Telecoms Company of the Year award by Daily Independent, in recognition of the company’s commitment to serving Nigerians with the best of telecoms services.
The event, held at the Convention Centre of Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos was by the crème of the society and awardees who included outstanding individuals and organisations that have impacted the people and the country.
The organisers referenced Globacom’s passion and commitment to excellent service delivery and how, through the leadership of its Chairman, Dr Mike Adenuga Jr., the company broke the conventions to ensure that Nigerians were served better telecommunications services at the most affordable costs.
“In August 2003, Glo Mobile was launched in Nigeria. Glo Mobile introduced lower tariffs, pay per second billing and alongside other value added services. As Nigeria’s Second National Carrier, Glo was the first company to launch operations on Per Second Billing. Driven under the visionary leadership of Dr. Mike Adenuga, Jr., the network pioneered the billing system in Nigeria in 2003, even when older networks said it was impossible,” the citation read ahead of the award presentation noted.
This development, the citation noted, “stirred many sectors in the economy, thereby empowering millions of Nigerians.”
Receiving the award on behalf of the company, Globacom’s Head of Enterprise Business, Mr Zakari Usman, commended the organisers for considering the people-oriented strides of Globacom.
He promised that the company would remain focused on the trajectory of bringing the best services to Nigerians and helping to empower them.
