Organisers of the Beacon of ICT Awards, Communications Week Media, have said that Globacom won the Most Innovative Player Award at the 2018 edition of the awards because it pioneers most of the innovations in the nation’s telecoms industry.
Giving the explanation while presenting the awards to Globacom, Editor-in-Chief and Chief Executive Officer of Communications Week Media, Ken Nwogbo, reiterated Globacom’s consistent role as the pioneer in Nigeria’s telecoms space in the area of innovation and service quality.
“Glo has remained consistent in pioneering most of the innovations we have in the telecoms industry today, both in voice and in data services. Glo Café, Borrow me Data, Campus Booster, E-top Up and Easy Share are among the recent products which have offered unparalleled experience for telecom subscribers on the Glo network. Many of the respondents who took part in the poll said this was why they voted for Glo as the Most Innovative Mobile Player,” Nwogbo said.
He further explained that winners in the various categories were decided by readers of Communications Week in an online survey conducted by the magazine from November last year to March 15, 2018.
The Beacon of ICT Awards was instituted to reward the vision and efforts of individuals and companies that have contributed to the growth of the ICT industry in a particular year. The main objectives of the awards are to evaluate and recognise standards of excellence in the country’s quest for growth and development in the use of ICT and to ensure that ICT professionals are provided a basis for recognising and validating outstanding contributions.
