LAGOS: Nigeria's leading telecommunications operator Globacom said on Tuesday that it is looking to roll out some 200 Glo Zones in the next two years across the country. The move is part of Globacom's continued push to increase its market share of the Nigerian telecom sector. The head of West 2 Globacom Nigeria Dimeji Amoo told reporters that the new facilities would help “enhance telephone service delivery.” According to Amoo, the plan for the new stores is to “make telephone services available in the remotest parts of the country.” The company said that Glo Zone stores in Ikare-Akoko make the company the first operator to bring such services to customers in Akokoloand. Amoo added that “the new center would provide effective customer service to the people of Ondo north senatorial district. Almost all the services provided at the head office of the organization could be done at the Glo Zone, including the correction of damaged recharge cards, SIM registration, BlackBerry operations and establishing international roaming.” The expansion comes as the Nigerian mobile sector faces a tumultuous move toward registering all SIMs in the country. The government has demanded that all mobile phone numbers are registered and companies continue to scramble to meet the demands. BM
