According to the figures,

subscribers up from 26,355,391 in May. This showed that the operator added a
total of 272,674 new subscribers during the month.

leap from the total number of subscribers gained between April and May. Glo

The steady growth Globacom has

subscribers is Jollific8 which gives subscribers eight
