Globacom is pursuing a strategy of continual reinvention as it marks 23 years in Nigeria, a BusinessDay profile said, describing the company philosophy as “Never Settle for Less” and calling the approach that of a “Never Settler”. BusinessDay reported the description and profile.
The profile traces Globacom early moves, saying the company entered Nigeria telecoms in 2003 and introduced per-second billing, a pricing change BusinessDay said altered how consumers relate to mobile services. The article also highlights the firm’s investment in Glo-1, a submarine fibre-optic cable, which BusinessDay said strengthened Nigeria connection to global networks.
BusinessDay listed a series of recent product offerings that it said reflect the company’s stated philosophy. The report named Glo Magic Data Bundle, TalkMasta Reloaded and Welcome Bonus as examples of propositions intended to deliver additional value to customers. The profile said TalkMasta links qualifying voice usage to extra voice and data benefits, and that Welcome Bonus aims to make a new customer’s first experience more rewarding.
On market performance, BusinessDay reported that in May 2026 Globacom added about 1.2 million internet subscribers, representing nearly half of the country’s monthly increase in internet users, according to the profile. The piece presented that figure as an indicator of the company’s continuing growth, while noting numbers represent individual choices to join or deepen engagement with digital services.
The article framed the changing role of mobile connectivity in Nigeria, saying the mobile device now serves as a bank, classroom, business terminal, television, newsroom and marketplace. BusinessDay argued that this shift raises the intellectual burden on telecommunications companies, which must not only provide access but design services that help users achieve broader goals.
BusinessDay also discussed the broader meaning the profile assigns to Globacom’s longevity. The report contrasted treating past innovations as a finish line with using them as a platform for further breakthroughs. It said the company appears to choose the latter, seeking to remain restless rather than satisfied by past success.
