Globacom Sets to Acquire Gambia, Liberian Operating Licences
Head of Glo Gateway, Mr Charles Odiase, has disclosed that Globacom is set to acquire operating licences in The Gambia and Liberia, following offers from officials of the two countries.
Odiase, in an interactive session with newsmen, said the offers for Glo to operate in both countries arose, because of its landmark achievements in the area of enabling seamless affordable communications.
He said the Glo Gateway was responsible for the international operations of Globacom launched in some parts of the continent in its quest to enable seamless communications and first class services.
He said 95 per cent of Private Telecommunications Operators (PTOs) in the country rely on Globacom's Gateway to carry their international gateway to different parts of the world, adding that Glo's international gateway has extended its prepaid roaming service to six more countries, to enable more Nigerians enjoy affordable communications.
He emphasised that Glo had in May 2005, become the first network in Nigeria to launch Prepaid Roaming, with the service available only in the United Kingdom. But with its expansion, Nigerians can now enjoy outbound roaming service in Spain, South Africa, Belgium, Turkey, Ukraine and Algeria.
He said apart from these destinations, Globacom was also in the process of concluding arrangements to extend the service to United States and several other European and Middle East countries. Though Prepaid roaming complements the postpaid roaming service available in over 140 countries, plans were under way to extend it to 310 countries across the globe.
