Members of the Press
Ladies and Gentlemen,
It gives me great pleasure to stand here today on behalf of
Our Groups Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Mr. Yaakov
Chai, to present his address.
This is a memorable occasion, being the launching of the
first book written by a Nigerian: Engr. Gbenga Adebayo, our
General Manager, VGC Communications Ltd. on the various
stages of telecommunications development in Nigeria.
I am very delighted at the opportunity to have written a
Goodwill message in the book, and I congratulate him on the
success of this effort.
Our group of Companies; Globe International Holdings S.A.
has operated in Nigeria for over twenty five (25) years in
the areas of Urban and Housing Development, Roads
construction, Infrastructure development, hotels and
telecommunications.
We believe in Nigeria and in Nigerians, and we are investing
in human capital development by training and appointing
indigenes to occupy strategic positions in our various
Companies, in order to enhance their ability to contribute
to National growth and development. The achievements of
Gbenga culminating with this book (for the time being) have
proven to us that we are right.
Gbenga was employed as the Technical Manager of one of the
subsidiary Companies: VGC Communications Ltd (VGCCL) in the
early part of year 2000 and following an impressive
performance, he was promoted in October 2002 as the First
Nigerian General Manager.
Within a few years of operations the Company was transformed
from a Community telephony operator status, to full National
Private Telephone Operator and provider of telephone voice,
broadband internet, domestic satellite and international
gateway services, and now playing a leading role in
telecommunications development in Nigeria.
On behalf of the entire Management and Staff of our Group of
Companies, I congratulate Gbenga for the success of this
book and also commend his passion for telecommunications
development in Nigeria.
In support of this project, on behalf of our Group of
Companies,
