and logo of Kano Pillars Football Club in Kano on Friday, National Sales
Coordinator, Globacom, Ibrahim Fadipe, stated that the event marks
another milestone in Globacom’s relationship with the Nigerian Premier League clubs. He said the

all levels.
“As part of the commitment, Globacom and Kano Pillars recently signed a
Memorandum of Understanding on a new partnership aimed at stimulating

matches as well as promote the commercial interest of both
organizations,” Fadipe explained.
He said that the partnership between Globacom and Kano Pillars will
open a new vista in the relationship between a football club and its
sponsors, thus creating a new door of opportunities for stakeholders to
expand their business frontiers.

of Kano Pillars to subscribe to this package which according to him will
give them a special privilege of making calls to all networks in
Nigeria at just 12Kobo per second.

initiative, and to encourage fans of Kano Pillars and the good people of
Kano to enjoy the partnership between Glo and their darling club.
