A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF GLOBACOM,
DR. MIKE ADENUGA JR.

RUN AND RULE YOUR WORLD!

In a few days’ time the Glo-Lagos International Half Marathon will hold in the city of Lagos, Nigeria’s Centre of Excellence!

We are immensely delighted about another exciting opportunity to engage our youths in a meaningful general fitness exercise and help their natural talents find expressions in more positive ways.

Globacom’s landmark entry into the telecommunications industry on August 29, 2003 expectedly raised the value proposition in the sector for Nigerians. We have kept faith with our people by fulfilling our brand promise of providing affordable telecom services to Nigerians and contributing our quota to the overall development of our motherland.

As a proud Nigerian brand, Globacom is about People, Globacom is about Power and Possibilities. Our activities are hinged on patriotism and empowerment of our people.

Events of the past four years have established Globacom as the biggest sports supporting brand in Nigeria. Our support for football has been phenomenal and un-equaled. Our sponsorship of the Marathon, in particular, is our contribution to promoting the sport of distance running, enhancing health and fitness and in a way, responding to the needs of our community.

We are encouraged by the huge confidence Nigerians have reposed in us, so much so that, within just four years, Globacom has not only metamorphosed into a national icon, it has become a metaphor for the ability to overcome and excel in the face of daunting challenges. The Marathon finds resonance with the Glo brand in terms of resilience, focus and the can-do Nigerian spirit.

We are, by our sponsorship of the Glo-Lagos International Half Marathon, consolidating our position as the indigenous enablement brand!

I believe each of us has a stake in the future of this great country. It is our individual and collective responsibility to uplift Nigeria in our own little way.

At Globacom, we will continue to pursue our vision of becoming the largest, most successful entertainment, information and telecommunications solutions provider, both in Nigeria and Africa as a whole.

Achieving is a thing of resolve and persistence. It is the state of attaining success as a goal through sustained consistency. The achiever is a leader, a winner, all the time, not just once. Achieving is an attitude. Achieving is part of our ancestral legacy.

The Marathon, yes, even a Half Marathon is a challenging undertaking. It is a test of endurance, but it is a lot of fun!

Keep a date with history on Saturday, December 8, as we all run Lagos. Come exercise your bodies and your minds. Run at your pace, but make sure you run to win. Strive to be the best and don’t be satisfied with less. If the world is a marathon we should all strive to bring home a prize!

I wish you all an exciting and rewarding marathon experience. Rule your world.
