[9] GLO-1 is the first successful submarine cable from the United Kingdom to Nigeria, and GLO is the first individual African company to embark on such a project.

[13] Glo-1 will also improve teleconferencing, distance learning, disaster recovery and telemedicine among several other benefits for Nigerians and the people of West Africa.

Glo Mobile showed unprecedented growth through the sale of 600,000 SIM cards in the first ten days of operation.

In October 2009, GLO acquired submarine cable landing rights and International Gateway Services in Côte d'Ivoire.

The company previously operated in Ghana but later sold its subsidiary to Airtel to focus on enterprise telecom services.

The Glo-1 submarine cable system provides high-speed internet services, offering faster, more reliable, and cost-effective telecom solutions.

The programme's objective is to project game changers on the African continent and also promote the Globacom brand globally on CNN's platforms.

[31][32] In its inaugural year, Glo Mobile, a subsidiary of Globacom, achieved rapid growth by acquiring one million subscribers across 87 towns in Nigeria, generating over 120 billion Naira in revenues.

The company introduced innovative services such as per-second billing and value-added offerings like MMS, vehicle tracking, and mobile banking, which contributed to its swift expansion.

In 2011, Globacom made a significant technological advancement by launching Glo-1, an $800 million high-capacity submarine fibre-optic cable connecting the United Kingdom to Nigeria.

This infrastructure project was the first successful submarine cable of its kind from the UK to Nigeria, enhancing internet services and telecommunications reliability in the region.

The auditions were held in Nigeria and Ghana, with the ultimate prize being a $150,000 cash reward as well as a deal to be managed and produced by Sony Music to record an album.

It was revealed that many of the company's creative ideas have been influenced by the leadership behind Glo’s vision, showcasing the importance of strategic direction in its achievements.
