Globacom, telecommunications operator, says seventeen years of uninterrupted civilian rule have been good for the development of the nation.
In a goodwill message released in Lagos on Friday to felicitate with Nigerians on Democracy Day, Globacom said the sustenance of democracy for nearly two decades was gradually leading Nigeria on the path of justice, liberty, and equality.
“The last 17 democratic years of our nation have been a learning curve for politicians and citizens who have improved on internal and external communication and amicable resolution of issues in a peaceful and democratic manner. This culminated in the watershed election that led to the ouster of a sitting government through the ballot for the first time in the country,” Globacom said.
The next generation network added: “We urge all the arms of government to cooperate and firm up strategies to pull Nigeria out of dire straits. They should also formulate viable and enduring strategies that will make the country live up to its appellation as the giant of Africa, whilst building institutions that would safeguard the perpetuation of democratic ethos in the country.”
Globacom called on all Nigerians to support government in its efforts to build a viable economy, adding that such collaboration would lead to the triumph over the current challenges in the near future. It also encouraged all to continue to make sacrifices and offer prayers for God to turn potentials which abound in the country to advantages.
On the part of the country’s leaders, Globacom called for careful harnessing of the human and natural resources in such a way that the journey to the Promised Land would be realized.
The leader in data services recalled that it was the civilian regime that opened the telecommunications landscape and ensured that telephone services became available and affordable to the masses. The achievements in the sector, the company added, were the dividends of democracy.
Globacom pledged continued commitment to innovation and service quality and urged Nigerians to continue to support it through the patronage of its products and services especially its super fast and reliable data offerings.
