This paper aims to examine celebrities&#8217; credibility on consumers&#8217; perception and attitude towards Globacom telecommunication products in Ilorin Metropolis. A total of 273 usable copies of the questionnaire administered to the target respondents were returned. A multi-stage sampling method was employed to select the eligible samples from the study population, and regression analysis was adopted as an analytical technique. The study&#8217;s findings revealed that celebrity&#8217;s credibility affected consumers&#8217; perception of Globacom telecommunication products in Ilorin metropolis and celebrity endorsement also impacted consumers&#8217; attitude in the study area. The study recommended that firms that desire positive consumers&#8217; perceptions and attitudes towards their products should use a meticulous process to select celebrities who are credible, reliable, popular and likeable by target consumers to endorse their brands.&nbsp;<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family:\" gill=\"\" sans=\"\" mt\",sans-serif;=\"\" mso-bidi-font-family:\"gill=\"\" mt\";color:black\"=\"\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span style=\"font-size:10.0pt;font-family:\" gill=\"\" sans=\"\" mt\",sans-serif;=\"\" mso-bidi-font-family:\"gill=\"\" mt\";color:black\"=\"\">Key words <\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size:10.0pt;font-family:\" gill=\"\" sans=\"\" mt\",sans-serif;mso-bidi-font-family:=\"\" \"gill=\"\" mt\";color:black\"=\"\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify\"><i><span style=\"font-family:\" times=\"\" new=\"\" roman\",serif;=\"\" color:black\"=\"\">Celebrity endorsement, celebrity&#8217;s credibility, celebrity\u2019s popularity, Consumer perception, Consumer attitude<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify\"><i><span style=\"color:black\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"kc-elm kc-css-816675 kc_row\"><div class=\"kc-row-container  kc-container\"><div class=\"kc-wrap-columns\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-401877 kc_column kc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"kc-col-container\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-37713 kc_text_block\"><\/p>\n<p><b>Download<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"kc-elm kc-css-956342 kc_row\"><div class=\"kc-row-container  kc-container\"><div class=\"kc-wrap-columns\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-383116 kc_col-sm-12 kc_column kc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"kc-col-container\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-750785 kc-icon-wrapper\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/mgt.sjp.ac.lk\/vjm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Paper-3-Final.pdf\" target=\"_self\" title=\"\">\n\t\t<i class=\"fa-file-pdf\"><\/i>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"kc-elm kc-css-150422 kc_row\"><div class=\"kc-row-container  kc-container\"><div class=\"kc-wrap-columns\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-444925 kc_column kc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"kc-col-container\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-329546 kc_text_block\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span times=\"\" new=\"\" roman\",serif\"=\"\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span times=\"\" new=\"\" roman\",serif\"=\"\">Cite this paper:<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span times=\"\" new=\"\" roman\",serif\"=\"\">Mustapha,\u00a0Y.I, Issa, B.O, Bello, O.F.
