Globacom led Nigeria’s telecoms in internet subscriber gains during May, adding roughly 1.2 million new users, according to Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) data.
Nationwide internet users rose to 157 million in May from 154.3 million in April — an increase of 2.67 million in a single month.
Glo’s additions accounted for nearly half of that monthly growth, making it the fastest-growing provider among major operators for May.
The company’s subscriber base grew from 15.5 million in April to 16.8 million in May. Airtel came second with 1.07 million new users, moving from 54.8 million to 55.8 million. MTN added 382,894 users to reach 83.5 million.
T2 Mobile, formerly 9mobile, recorded no growth for the second month in a row. Its subscriber base remained at 802,534. This is despite its roaming agreement with MTN, which was approved almost a year ago to help T2 customers use MTN’s network in areas with poor coverage.
Industry experts say Glo’s strong growth is due to its ongoing network upgrade. Since last year, the company has been building new base stations, expanding its fibre network, and adding thousands of new 4G sites across cities and rural areas.
The upgrades have improved voice and data quality for customers, while Globacom remain committed to providing better network experience and affordable Internet services to more Nigerians.
