Globacom last weekend celebrated its 20th anniversary with a lavish party with the theme “Twenty and Unlimited” where it showered its long-serving staff with millions of naira.
As many as 89 employees who had worked for the company for up to twenty years were rewarded with sums of money running into millions of naira at the high-octane event held at Eko Hotel and Suites in Victoria Island, Lagos.
Speaking at the celebration, Globacom’s Executive Vice Chairman, Mrs. Bella Disu, expressed her satisfaction with the winners’ contributions to the company’s success over the past 20 years and encouraged them to keep pushing for greatness. She also lauded the various business units in the company for the team efforts that have propelled the company to great heights.
Said the Executive Vice Chairman: “This year, I want us to move forward with even greater zeal and energy than we had in our first two decades, and I want you to know without a doubt that your work is the foundation and key to our future. This year, we are committed not only to our company’s growth but to your individual success. We will work tirelessly to increase value for you, our staff, all our subscribers and to all stakeholders. This is our promise to you. Thank you for twenty years. Together, we are good and together we are unlimited”.
