Globacom, one of Nigeria's leading telecommunications companies, is grappling with serious operational challenges as it seeks to expand its services. The company has recently faced significant disruptions, particularly in Northern Nigeria, which underscore the vulnerabilities in the country's telecom infrastructure, as analysts warn in the report.
Globacom Reports Fibre Cuts and Operational Disruptions
In November 2025, Globacom reported multiple fibre cuts on major transmission routes, leading to widespread operational disruptions. These incidents not only affected service delivery but also raised concerns about the security of telecommunications infrastructure in the region. The company is now under pressure to implement enhanced security measures to protect its assets and ensure reliable service for its customers.
Challenges in Infrastructure and Expansion Efforts
The ongoing issues of infrastructure vandalism and frequent power outages further complicate Globacom's expansion efforts. As the company strives to improve its network and reach more users, addressing these challenges will be crucial for maintaining its competitive edge in the rapidly evolving telecommunications market.
