Ahmad Farroukh has resigned as Chief Executive Officer of Globacom, just one month after taking on the role.

Farroukh, a seasoned telecom executive with a wealth of experience across Africa and the Middle East, was appointed in December 2024, with the goal of leveraging his expertise to guide Globacom’s growth and innovation in an increasingly competitive market.

While the exact reasons for his departure remain unclear, industry analysts speculate that internal corporate issues or strategic differences may have played a role, though no official statement has confirmed this.

Farroukh’s distinguished career includes leadership positions at MTN and other major telecom companies, where he led successful market strategies.

Globacom, founded by billionaire businessman Mike Adenuga, continues to be a leading force in Nigeria’s telecom industry, with millions of subscribers. The company is expected to address the leadership change in the coming weeks.
