Globacom has announced its 18th anniversary plans for its esteemed customers. The plan entails prepaid customers receiving a gift of N200 airtime, that is six minutes of talk time, which can be used for calls to other Glo customers and 200MB data for browsing, among other things.

The announcement, which was contained in a press statement released from the company’s headquarters in Lagos on Saturday, stated that the special celebratory offer will be given to all customers on the network who have recharged from N200 and above in the last 30 days. They will receive the offer through an SMS notification and will also be notified of its expiry through the same channel after a 24 hour validity period.

The operator which currently has over 50 million subscribers on its network stated, “The free airtime and data to our esteemed subscribers is a token of appreciation of their patronage and support in building a world class network.”

At its inception, Globacom launched Nigeria’s first per second billing system, thus ensuring massive telephone penetration in Nigeria.

“Since we rolled out services in 2003, we have pursued a bold vision to build Africa’s biggest and best telecommunications network. It has been our delight to fulfill this vision and consistently deliver innovative and quality telecoms solutions to enable our subscribers to achieve their aspirations,” Globacom remarked in the statement.

“As we mark the 18th year of operation, we wish to appreciate the support of all our customers and stakeholders, including the government and regulators, for their continued faith in our business to significantly contribute to the sustainable development of the country,” the company further stated.
