Eminent investor, Dr. Mike Adenuga Jr. has been declared the Businessman of the Year by a team of respectable judges at the third Daar Awards which held at the International Conference Centre, Abuja.
At the event which was graced by an A-list of government officials, socialites, politicians, captains of industry and entertainers over the weekend, Dr. Adenuga was singled out for honour for his keen ability to spot juicy business ventures miles away and for his record of succeeding where others failed. His citation stated that his oil prospecting firm, Conoil Producing, has the enviable record of being the first indigenous venture to strike oil in shallow waters while his telecoms business, Globacom, was a network to be reckoned with across the continent.
Globacom was found to be growing very fast as a result of several attractive and user-friendly packages which offer a lot of appeal to pre-paid and post-paid phone users, thus making its services the most accessible and most accessible, thereby qualifying it for the Customer Service Award.
The citation said Globacom was the first to launch the 4G LTE network nationwide, offering instant efficient broadband internet to millions of Nigerians at speeds that are several times faster.
Receiving the awards on behalf of the awardees, Globacom’s Regional Manager, Northcentral, Mr. Kemi Kaka said the awards were a call to greater services. He said he was not surprised that the company was chosen as the best firm in Customer Service and the Globacom’s founder, Dr. Adenuga Jr., who is already a multiple award winner, as the Businessman of the Year.
