- Bella Disu leads Glo’s push to make internet access more affordable nationwide.
- The upgrade reinforces Glo’s goal to keep Nigerians connected through affordable data.
Globacom, Nigeria’s homegrown telecom operator and second-largest telecom operator, has raised the data limits on its bundles, giving subscribers more value without touching the prices. The move, overseen by Executive Vice Chair Bella Disu, highlights the company’s continuing effort to make internet access easier on the pocket for millions of Nigerians.
More for the same price
The daily N100 ($0.069) plan now offers 125 megabytes instead of 105MB. Weekly users get 6GB for N1,500 ($1.043), a slight lift from 5.9GB, while the N2,000 ($1.39) monthly bundle has grown to 6.25GB. Glo’s highest plan, priced at N10,000 ($6.96), has been expanded to 42GB from 38GB.
Students are also part of the upgrade. The “Campus Data Plan” now comes with more data to help with online learning, streaming, and social connections.
In a short note, the company said the adjustments show its commitment to keeping data affordable and reliable for everyday needs, from entertainment to business.
Keeping Nigerians connected
With more than 60 million users, Glo remains one of the country’s biggest mobile networks. Customers can buy or share data through *312# or the Glo Café app, while real-time usage alerts help track balance and prevent unexpected cutoffs.
Why Glo can afford to stay cheaper
Part of Glo’s edge lies in its infrastructure. The firm owns Glo-1, a 9,800-kilometer undersea cable linking West Africa to Europe. The system allows it to move internet traffic efficiently and at lower cost, helping the company keep prices low without compromising speed or quality.
Bella Disu’s role
Disu, who has been with Glo for years, has focused on expanding access and improving customer experience. She has often said that technology should be “within reach for everyone,” including students taking remote classes and small business owners who depend on online platforms.
Outside Glo, she heads Cobblestone Properties, known for projects such as Ilé Ọjà on Victoria Island, chairs Abumet Nigeria, and sits on the board of Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, which posted record revenue in 2024.
Built at home, made for everyone
As more Nigerians rely on mobile data for work and leisure, Glo’s latest revision is more than a pricing tweak. It’s a reminder of the company’s homegrown roots and its drive to keep digital access open to all, one data bundle at a time.
