social networking site Facebook free. To register a friend, the
subscriber is required to dial *101*1*friend’s number#. It also offers
subscribers several other attractive benefits including free airtime and
free night calls.
Globacom’s Group Chief Operating
Officer, Mohammed Jameel, unveiled the product at a press conference in
Lagos on Wednesday, December 14, 2011.
A major aspect of the programme is the
G-BAM Scholar which empowers the student community in Nigeria by
offering a scholarship of $5 million for 1,000 students.
Jameel explained that 250 students would be selected every quarter for $ 5,000 worth of scholarship. “This will help aspiring students to fulfill their academic ambitions, pursue their dreams and passion, and also take care of meritorious students and young people,” he added.
