The value to be delivered and derived from Ogasim could either be gifted or shared as deemed fit by the subscriber, so it is very flexible product.

According to him, Globacom is the only operator with a submarine cable global which links Europe and America, delivering much faster connectivity services to its various telecoms customers.

Glo Head of Prepaid Activation, Ekene Okonkwo, said that what was most important to the customers was data, adding that the bonus was also applicable to old Sims. (Glo gives free data)

If you are already in the network and not using data, now is the time; all you need to do is dial *777# to activate and enjoy Glo gives free data.

For every #500 you get 1.8 GB, #1000 you get 3.6 GB data and so on.

This is done to empower Nigerians who are craving to be connected,” Okonkwo said.

The civic society organization, in the suit which is yet to be assigned to a judge, is asking the court to determine “whether the approval for security agencies to access people’s personal details via the National Identification Number [NIN] without due process is consistent with the principles of legality, necessity, and proportionality.

The organization is also praying the court for an order setting aside President Buhari’s approval for security agencies to access people’s details via NIN-SIM linkage without due process of law, as this amounts to violations of private and digital communication rights, right to family life, human dignity and personal liberty.”

It is further urging the court for an order of perpetual injunction restraining the Federal Government or any other authority, persons or group of persons from unlawfully accessing people’s personal details via NIN-SIM linkage without due process of the law.
