Nigeria’s telecommunication giant, GLO mobile plan of doing business in Ghana is under threat, as it is facing pressure from the Ghanaian government to begin full commercial operations or be penalized.
Although the telecommunication company initially was given April 30 ultimatum to start operations, that time-limit appear to have lapsed, going by the pronouncement of the Ghanaian Minister of Communications, Hon Haruna Idrissu.
The Minister on Friday stated that GLO mobile had up to the end of the day to notify the National Communications Authority of its intended launch date.
The company risks paying heavy fine for non conformity with the directive of the regulatory authority; GLO mobile has rescheduled its launch date into the Ghanaian market on a number of occasions.
The company in January this year launched a number reservation facility which will enable the public reserve their chosen numbers on the 023-3 number series on the GLO mobile Ghana network.
Tagged “Reserve your Number’ campaign; it allows the public access to the network by texting their preferred numbers to 0230010100 for their confirmation and reservation.
According to the Chief Operating Officer, Mr George Andah, the company has invested over $600 million in the project so far.
