Support Globacom, Primate Ayodele Tells Tinubu

Support Globacom

OpenLife Nigeria reports that the Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele has advised Nigeria’s president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu to increase support for the country’s only indigenous telecommunication company, Globacom and prevent creation of other telecommunication companies in Nigeria.

This call was made at the presentation of the 30th edition of the prophet’s annual prophecy book titled Warnings To The Nations on Saturday, 6th of July, 2024 in Lagos.

Primate Ayodele made it known that Globacom has the capacity to help Nigeria overcome economic challenges but the government must support them in order to increase this capacity. He stated that the company will create more employment if the needed support is given.

However, he warned that the establishment of another indigenous telecommunication company will lead to unnecessary rivalry and will not be healthy for Nigeria’s economy.

He advised that instead of establishing another company, all resources should be put together to support Globacom.

‘’Let the government support indigenous telecommunication companies because they will create more employment.

“We don’t need so much to avoid rivalry. We shouldn’t bring up any other indigenous telecommunication apart from Glo, we should put resources together to support this one we have.’’

‘’Glo has come to stay and has the capacity to create an economic boom for President Tinubu’s administration.

“Let’s support our own instead of creating unnecessary rivalry that will lead to calamity for the country.’’

In a related development, the Nigeria’s national telecommunications operator has been described as an industry leader in the telecommunications sector by Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Abiodun Oyebanji.

Governor Oyebanji said this on Monday in the state capital of Ado Ekiti, when he met with a group of Glo representatives from the company’s Enterprise Business Group.

“Globacom is our own and a good ambassador of this country as far as telecommunications services are concerned”, Governor Oyebanji said, and added that the Ekiti State Government was prepared to do business with the company.

He also expressed gratitude to Dr. Mike Adenuga Jr., the Chairman of Globacom, for his services to Nigeria and the economy at large.

The governor said he would be happy to work with Globacom to advance the state’s digital economy and increase youth empowerment, particularly in the areas of expanding fibre connectivity services and the development of a digital economy in the state.

Adeniyi Odejobi, who the led the Glo team to the Governor’s office, said the company is not only the largest integrated telecommunications service provider in Nigeria, but it also serves millions of individuals nationwide as well as large corporates, public sector organizations, SMEs, and enterprises.

According to Adeniyi, Globacom has been at the forefront of revolutionary advances in the telecommunications sector for more than 20 years, all targeted at the empowerment of Nigerians.
