Nigeria’s push towards a secure and inclusive digital economy has received a significant boost as Galaxy Backbone Limited (GBB), the nation’s leading provider of digital infrastructure and shared services, achieved recertification across four critical International Standards Organisation (ISO) categories.
According to a press statement signed by Chidi Okpala Head, Corporate Communications, the certifications — ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 22301 (Business Continuity), ISO 20000 (Service Management), and ISO 27001 (Information Security) — place GBB among globally trusted digital service providers, reaffirming its capacity to deliver secure, resilient, and high-quality ICT solutions for both the public and private sectors.
This development comes at a time when the Federal Government is intensifying efforts to digitalise governance, enhance cybersecurity, and position Nigeria as a competitive player in the global digital economy.

By meeting these stringent international benchmarks, GBB has reinforced its role as the backbone of Nigeria’s e-governance and digital economy drive. Government ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) that rely on GBB’s infrastructure for hosting sensitive data and citizen services are assured of guaranteed uptime, disaster recovery, and top-tier security protections.

Private enterprises — particularly in Nigeria’s rapidly expanding fintech, telecoms, and e-commerce sectors — also stand to benefit. With GBB’s certifications, businesses can demonstrate compliance with global regulatory standards while assuring customers of safe and reliable digital transactions.
Prof. Ibrahim A. Adeyanju, Managing Director/CEO of Galaxy Backbone, said the certifications are a reflection of GBB’s customer-first approach. “These certifications represent more than compliance; they embody trust,” Adeyanju said. “For us, it’s about delivering world-class digital services that support Nigeria’s transformation, protect sensitive data, and help organisations thrive in an increasingly competitive global marketplace.”
Among the certifications, ISO 27001 — the global benchmark for information security — is particularly crucial for Nigeria. With cyberattacks and data breaches on the rise, this recertification assures citizens, businesses, and government institutions that GBB operates with the highest levels of cybersecurity protocols.

GBB’s recertification provides a unique assurance to investors, international development partners, and technology stakeholders that Nigeria’s digital ecosystem is being managed at global standards.
