Globacom Voted GSM Company of the Year Again

Postby Richard Akindele » Sat Apr 15, 2006 3:57 pm

Globacom Limited has again emerged the GSM Company of the Year, in Nigeria. It won the prize at the 9th City People Awards for Excellence held recently.
The latest award by the City People Media Group marks the 10th time that Globacom has been named the GSM Company of the year by different institutions and civil society groups, in less than three years of the companys existence, on account of its trail-blazing stance in the Nigerian telecommunications industry.

Though Globacom was the fourth entrant into the Nigerian GSM market, coming in two years after other operators had launched GSM service, it pioneered Per Second Billing in Nigeria and was also the first GSM company to launch the 2.5G network in the country.

Currently, the company has established presence in all 36 states of Nigeria and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, and well over 30,000 communities, including towns, villages and major roads across Nigeria. It has also introduced a number of exciting value added services for its teeming subscribers.

By so doing, Globacom smashed conventions on all fronts, acquiring over 6 million subscribers in just 30 months.

Other awards Globacom has won so far include Thisday Brand of the Year 2006 (Glo Mobile), Thisday Company of the Year Award and the Brand of the Year Award in 2005 and 2003, respectively.

Globacom also won the GSM Company of the Year Awards and the Company of the Year Award at the recent Excellence Recognition Awards in a category which had MTN and Nigerian Breweries as co-nominees. Other awards won by Globacom are the Best Telecoms Company at the 2005 Ogun State Awards and Best Mobile Company for 2004 and 2005 at the Nigerian Information Technology & Telecom Awards (NITTA). It was also voted GSM Company of the Year for two consecutive years (2004 and 2005) by the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS).

In 2005, Globacom was adjudged the Brand of the Year by the Nigerian Institute of Marketing and also Telecom Company of the Year, 2004 by IT Editors, amongst several other awards.
