Telecoms: Glo set to acquire 9Mobile

Except any last-minute change in permutations, Nigeria’s indigenous telecoms giant, Globacom, may finally acquire the debt-ridden 9mobile, ahead of other bidders in the race, New Telegraph has reliably gathered.

Sources privy to the process said Mike Adenuga’s telecoms network appears ‘more favoured’ to beat Airtel, Dangote Group, and other bidders to the lucrative bid.

The development is coming just as the telecoms umpire, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), said the winner in the bidding process for 9mobile takeover would be announced in a few days.
