Galaxy Backbone to upgrade digital, network services deployment across MDAs

In furtherance to ensuring that Nigeria is transformed into a Digital nation, the Federal Executive Council (FEC) under the leadership of his Excellency President Muhammadu Buhari has given approval that Galaxy Backbone carry out the upgrade of ICT Infrastructure to boost the provision of Local Area Network (LAN) and other digital services to Federal Government Ministries, Departments & Agencies.

This feat was achieved through the efforts of the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr. Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, in his strides to make Nigeria a digital nation in the near future.

Galaxy Backbone (GBB), an agency under the Federal Ministry of Communications & Digital Economy, is the Digital, Network and Shared services provider to the government.

GBB has over the past 10 years provided connectivity and network services to government institutions and has generally met the connectivity and digital services needs of these institutions.

With this approval by FEC, GBB’s quality of service will greatly improve and the challenges around Local Area Network (LAN) which have for too long constituted major impediment for these Agencies e-governance and digital transformation will be solved.
