Earlier in his welcome address, the Regional Director (West Africa), Marketing Communications at Globacom, Charles Jenarius, said since “August 2003, we at Glo have been toiling very hard to deliver seamless services by way of building the largest and biggest network in Africa in line with the dream of our chairmen, Dr. Mike Adenuga Jnr.”.
“Today, August 2017, marks 14 years of our existence, and we have achieved a lot in this short period of time,” and further assured that Glo will continue to deliver tailored telecoms services to Nigerians.
