In a landmark step toward accelerating Nigeriaโ€™s digital transformation agenda, the Federal Government has formally inaugurated the newly reconstituted Board of Directors of Galaxy Backbone Limited (GBB).

The inauguration ceremony, held at the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) in Abuja, was presided over by Senator Dr. George Akume, who also serves as the Chairman of GBBโ€™s Board.

This development marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of Galaxy Backboneโ€™s governance and strategic outlook, underscoring the governmentโ€™s commitment to building robust digital infrastructure capable of powering Nigeriaโ€™s role in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

In his address, Senator Akume emphasized the strategic importance of Galaxy Backbone to the national digital landscape.

โ€œOur collective objective is to transform Galaxy Backbone into a more agile, responsive, and impactful institutionโ€”one that serves as a driving force behind Nigeriaโ€™s digital public infrastructure and service delivery,โ€ he said.

The Chairman further called for a culture of collaboration, transparency, and mutual accountability between the Board and Executive Management.

โ€œThis partnership must be built on shared vision, openness, and respect. Together, we will elevate GBB to new heights of technological excellence, commercial success, and strategic relevance,โ€ he remarked.

During the ceremony, Professor Ibrahim Adeyanju, the managing director/CEO of Galaxy Backbone, extended a warm welcome to the new Board and presented a brief on the organizationโ€™s progress since his appointment by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on February 22, 2024.

Professor Adeyanju highlighted the efforts of the Executive Management team, which, despite operating without a governing board for over a year, successfully developed and launched the Integrated Digital Transformation Strategy (IDTS) 2025โ€“2028.

This ambitious roadmap is designed to modernize Nigeriaโ€™s ICT infrastructure and foster a digitally empowered public service.

The Key pillars of the IDTS include; Modernizing Nigeriaโ€™s National ICT Backbone Infrastructure; Building inclusive digital ecosystems connecting government, business, and citizens; Leveraging emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain for smarter service delivery; Enhancing digital trust through cybersecurity and data governance; Diversifying GBBโ€™s revenue base to ensure long-term sustainability.

The strategy aligns with the priorities of the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation & Digital Economy, and supports the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Tinubu.

In further remarks to the board, Prof. Adeyanju states;

โ€œYour presence marks a turning point in our journey. We are excited to work with a Board whose insight and guidance will be critical to our continued growth and national impact.โ€

Following the inauguration, the SGF and Board members undertook an official tour of GBBโ€™s National Shared Services Centre (NSSC)โ€”the organizationโ€™s ultra-modern corporate headquarters.

They visited the Uptime Certified Tier III Data Centre, Security Operations Centre, and Network Operations Centre, all of which are core components of Nigeriaโ€™s digital public infrastructure.

Impressed by the scale and sophistication of the facilities, Senator Akume commended Galaxy Backbone for its remarkable achievements and reiterated the governmentโ€™s commitment to fully leveraging this infrastructure to drive Nigeriaโ€™s digital transformation.

The Newly Inaugurated Board Members comprises distinguished professionals and representatives from key national institutions:

  • Senator Dr. George Akume (CON) โ€“ chairman & secretary to the Government of the Federation
  • Professor Ibrahim ย Adeyanju โ€“ Managing Director/CEO, Galaxy Backbone
  • Hon. Olusegun Olulade โ€“ Executive Director, Customer Centricity & Marketing
  • Mr. Olumbe Akinkugbe โ€“ Executive Director, Digital Exploration & Technical Services
  • Mr. Mohammed Sani Ibrahim โ€“ Executive Director, Finance & Corporate Services
  • Mrs. Rabiโ€™ah Adamu-Waziri โ€“ Non-Executive Director (PTDF Representative)
  • Mrs. Oluwakemi Babalogbon โ€“ Non-Executive Director (MOFI Representative)
  • Mr. Abdulqadir Abubakar Maje โ€“ Non-Executive Director (Jigawa State Representative)
  • Mrs. Margaret Ene Ebute โ€“ Non-Executive Director (Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation & Digital Economy)
  • Mrs. Adama Pindar โ€“ Company Secretary, Galaxy Backbone

With the breadth of expertise and strategic leadership brought by this reconstitution, Galaxy Backbone is well-positioned to advance its mandate of providing secure, reliable, and inclusive digital services across Nigeria.
