    Glo steps up investments, performance to back Nigeria’s drive for digital economy

    Published on

    Total telecommunications solutions provider, Globacom, continues its forward-looking disposition to the business as it focuses on driving the focus of the regulatory body, Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) for a digital future for Nigeria.

    The company stands tall as a major industry player, with a reputation built over the decades through investments in cutting edge technology to serve a nation that is constantly positioned to advance with the best of technology solutions that Globacom offers.

    A recent industry report on the performance of the operators reflected that the formidable collaboration between Globacom and NCC is hinged on transparency, sustainable long term investment and consumer trust.

    The quarterly, data-driven reports provide independent, yet cursory look into network performance, coverage and real life customer experience across operators, states and regions. It was developed in association with global network intelligence concern, Ookla under the QoS/QoE Crowdsourcing Project, a shows that the NCC is poised to set a new standard of probity in the telecoms sector.

    On the independent score sheet, Globacom stood distinguished. The telecommunications giant has repute for decades of investments in cutting edge technology as well as a consistent optimization of its systems. The custodian of standards, NCC, and Globacom, the industry’s most enduring architect of connectivity are guiding Nigeria into a future where speed is not merely measured, but felt; where coverage is not just counted, but trusted; and where consumer confidence is earned through consistency.

    As one senior NCC official aptly puts it, “Our partnership with Ookla under the QoS/QoE Crowdsourcing Project is about sunlight and substance. We want Nigerians to see clearly how networks perform, so that excellence is rewarded and complacency is exposed.” The NCC’s Industry Performance Reports—developed in partnership with Ookla—have indeed become the nation’s digital mirror. They do not flatter; they reveal. Quarterly, data-driven, and independent, these reports illuminate the truth of network performance across operators, states, and regions. In doing so, they have raised the bar for accountability and pushed every player to compete not on slogans, but on proof.

    A member of Globacom’s executive leadership once summarized this philosophy simply: “We invest as if Nigeria’s tomorrow depends on what we build today—because it does. Our goal is not to be loud, but to be lasting.”

    Globacom’s steady investment in fibre-to-site architecture, IP core upgrades, and intelligent traffic management reflects a belief that true leadership lies in resilience—networks that endure peak demand, weather disruptions, and scale with national ambition. Consider the Commission’s focus on Connectivity on the Move—the performance of networks along major road corridors.

    Equally telling is the NCC’s examination of how networks affect battery life and device temperature. This is where engineering becomes empathy. A network that drains your phone is not a service—it is a burden. NCC–Ookla insights show that efficient radio planning and intelligent traffic management reduce retransmissions and unnecessary signalling, two major culprits in battery drain and device heating. Glo’s optimisation protocols and modernised core architecture reflect a sensitivity to the lived experience of the user. In Glo’s universe, performance is not just about speed; it is about comfort, reliability, and care.

    Where reports compare network capacity and utilisation, Glo’s fibre-first philosophy shows its strength. Where they benchmark device models against real-world performance, Glo’s consistency across handsets speaks to sound radio engineering. Where they assess Quality of Service and Experience comparatively, Glo’s steady metrics place it in enviable company. For everyday Nigerians, these achievements are not abstract. As one loyal Glo subscriber and small-business owner puts it: “My work runs on data. With Glo, I don’t pray before opening Zoom or sending files anymore—I just connect and go. That confidence is everything.”
