Today 10 years ago, Globacom (glo) launched its mobile-related services into the Nigerian telecoms industry.

GLO is a privately owned telecommunications carrier that started operations on 29 August 2003, at that period when it was still a status symbol to own a mobile telephone, Nigerians were told that per second billing for airtime was impossible and for two years subscribers endured the exploitative claim.

That was the first lie that Globacom successfully put an end to upon entering the market by launching the per second billing platform, making it possible for GSM users to pay for only the actual time spent on the phone. With that, MTN and Econet had to follow. And being a fully-owned Nigerian company, Globacom immediately took upon itself the role of a catalyst in the bid to ensure reliable and affordable telecom services for our people.

From crashing the cost of acquiring a GSM line from such prohibitive cost as N40,000 to as low as N200 or helping to bring down the cost of airtime from N50 a minute to 5 kobo per second, there is no way anybody can write the story of the massive telephone penetration in Nigeria today without taking into account the intervention by Globacom.

Glo-1 is the first successful submarine cable from the United Kingdom to Nigeria, and GLO is the first individual African company to embark on such a project.

It currently operates in West African countries like Republic of Benin, Ghana, Cote d’Ivoire, Senegal and Gambia ... Nigeria, Republic of Benin, Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire.

Glo is owned by Dr. Mike Adenuga Jnr
