How Globacom is Empowering Nigerians

Nigeria’s digital landscape is undergoing a rapid transformation, and Globacom, a leading telecom provider, is at the forefront of this exciting journey. Committed to bridging the digital divide and fostering a future-proof workforce, Globacom is implementing several innovative initiatives to empower Nigerians with the skills and resources they need to thrive in the digital age.

Investing in Digital Literacy:

Recognizing the critical role of digital literacy in a technology-driven world, Globacom is taking a proactive approach to upskilling the nation. Their Glo Learning Management Solution provides accessible training opportunities for up to 100,000 users monthly. This user-friendly platform offers a diverse range of courses, from the fundamentals of digital marketing to in-demand technical skills like Python, blockchain, and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Notably, Globacom incorporates these digital literacy courses into their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs, ensuring wider accessibility and empowering Nigerians from all walks of life.

Fostering Innovation Hubs:

Looking beyond training, Globacom envisions a future where innovation flourishes. The company’s ambitious plan to establish four innovation hubs across Nigeria creates a vibrant ecosystem for collaboration. Scheduled to launch in major cities like Lagos, Port Harcourt, Ibadan, and Abuja, these hubs will serve as a meeting ground for tech enthusiasts, budding entrepreneurs, established incubators, and accelerators. By fostering knowledge sharing and facilitating idea incubation, Globacom aims to be a catalyst for the next generation of Nigerian tech pioneers.

Harnessing the Power of Digitalization:

The impact of digitalization is already evident across various sectors in Nigeria. Mrs. Bella Disu, Globacom’s Executive Vice Chairman, highlighted the rise of ride-hailing services like Uber and Bolt, showcasing how digital solutions are revolutionizing transportation and mobility. Similarly, the e-commerce market in Nigeria has witnessed explosive growth, with millions of users embracing online shopping platforms. This digital shift is further amplified by the widespread adoption of Point-of-Sale (POS) terminals, streamlining financial transactions for businesses and consumers alike.

A Collaborative Approach to National Progress:

Globacom understands the importance of collaboration in driving national progress. Mrs. Disu commended the combined efforts of the Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijani, and the Executive Vice Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Dr. Aminu Maida. Their commitment to addressing industry challenges strengthens the foundation for a thriving digital Nigeria.

Empowering Nigerians, Shaping the Future:

With a growing remote work culture and a flourishing startup scene, particularly in fintech and content creation, Globacom recognizes the immense potential for Nigerians to capitalize on digital opportunities. Through their dedication to upskilling initiatives, fostering innovation hubs, and collaborating with key stakeholders, Globacom positions itself as a driving force in shaping Nigeria’s digital future. As the nation embraces a digital revolution, Globacom remains committed to empowering Nigerians and propelling the country towards a brighter, more connected tomorrow.
