As the Glo Xchange train moves around the country, traders in Imo, Benue, Niger, Plateau and Kogi states have joined other Small and Medium, Scale Enterprise operators in other parts of the country to eulogize the benefits of the mobile money super agent network.

The turnout at the venues was very high and the participants were highly‎ enthusiastic. About 1,500 potential agents gathered in Owerri, Markurdi, Minna, Jos and Lokoja to receive orientation and information on the technical details of the Glo Xchange Network.

They included Glo trade partners, sub-dealers, retailers, pharmacists, entrepreneurs, supermarket operators, salon operators, photographers, fast-food operators, Commercial Telephone Operators and other Small and Medium Scale business operators.

To deepen the penetration of Glo Xchange in the country, the company is partnering some key players in the financial institutions including First Monie, Ecobank, StanbicIBTC Bank and Zenith Bank. The company said that more banks would join the partnership in line with the Central Bank of Nigeria regulations.

At the programme, Glo mobile money experts gave orientation to the attendees as they were eager to know more about mobile money and how to operate the Glo Xchange network business. They also gave the participants the opportunity to ask questions for further clarifications, after which they signed up as Glo Xchange Agents.

Speaking after the training at the Owerri Centre, Njoku Chinelo from Irete said the project was a “nice one from Globacom, and will greatly enhance business growth”.
