Globacom has been providing support to the association due to its key position in supplying Edo state’s and Benin’s citizens with telecoms support services. The Great GSM Village, which houses hundreds of ICT professionals engaged in the selling and maintenance of GSM devices and products as well as technical training, is the only such association in Benin City, Edo State, that is both recognised and registered.

Simon Ithime, Globacom’s regional sales manager for Mid-West, thanked the leadership and the entire Benin GSM Village for their cooperation and commitment to the collaboration with Globacom and urged them to continue.

The football games took place among the many GSM Village complexes.
