Globacom clocks five years

The national operator commenced business on August 29, 2003, with the launch of its GSM service in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. It was the fourth GSM service provider to launch operations, two years after other operators had rolled out.

Within its first year of operation, Glo Mobile became the fastest growing GSM operator in Africa, achieving a record one million subscribers in nine months. Today, Glo Mobile has extended coverage to more than 50,000 cities, towns and communities across the country, and has a subscriber base of over 19 million.

Globacom launched GSM services in Benin Republic in June and was recently granted an operating licence in Ghana.
