According to the agency, Galaxy Backbone has upgraded its service to high-speed Internet access in Nigeria to improve its availability and quality of service for its subscribers.

At the station headquarters, Professor Ibrahim Adeyanju, Managing Director of Galaxy Backbone Limited, revealed the enormous advancements during Voice of Nigeria’s “In The News” show in Abuja.

Before he became the agency’s managing director, many ministries, departments, and agencies subscribed to the service as a backup plan, but now that their services are available and of high quality in the nation, all of their subscribers use them as their primary service provider, according to Professor Adeyanju.

We are on a journey to connect the entire nation with our high speed fibre optic cables. Currently in 28 states of Nigeria. We are the Backbone enabling government & businesses in driving Nigeria’s #Digitaltransformation #connectednation #Digitalservices https://t.co/blN6cza2ah

In addition, he urges states and local governments to assist the federal government in making sure that the fibre connection reaches every corner of Nigeria, not just the interstates.

“Now we have been propagating at Galaxy Backbone, trying to work with the governors, trying to work with the local government to ensure that they can tap into that Galaxy Backbone service to ensure that residents of the states and local governments can enjoy this fast, high-speed Internet.”

In describing the agency’s 2025 artificial intelligence focus, the managing director stated that, given the computers and RAM in their data centres, they are somewhat prepared for AI.

“Currently, the Minister of Communication, Innovation, and Digital Economy Bosun Tijani came up with a national AI strategy, which Galaxy Backbone was a part of and which is very central to us because of the nature of infrastructure culture that we control and we have as network service providers in the country.”
