Globacom has made substantive growth in its subscribers' number by moving from 23 million subscribers in the first quarter of the year to 27 million subscribers in the second quarter, to become the second largest telecoms operator in the country after MTN that had always maintained the leadership position by subscriber number.

The new result, which was released on the NCC's website, showed that MTN still maintained the leading position by subscriber number of 56 million subscribers, followed by Globacom with 27 million subscribers, and Airtel with 25 million subscribers. Etisalat, the fourth entrant into the GSM market, still followed behind with an improved subscriber number of 19 million.

Globacom achieved the feat by recording 2.8 million new subscribers between February and June this year, the largest by any operator in the country within the period.
