Galaxy Backbone (GBB) has announced the successful implementation of its advanced fibre optic network across Lagos, Ibadan, and Ilorin
This achievement, a key milestone under Phase II of the National Information and Communication Technology Infrastructure Backbone (NICTIB) project, highlights GBB’s dedication to enhancing connectivity and advancing Nigeria’s digital transformation.
Ibrahim A Adeyanju, managing director/CEO of Galaxy Backbone, remarked, “The expansion of our fibre optic network to Lagos, Ibadan and Ilorin is a significant step forward in our mission to bridge the digital divide and position Nigeria as a leader in the global digital economy. This advanced infrastructure empowers us to deliver innovative, customer-centric solutions that serve the needs of both the public and private sectors.”
Connecting Nigeria seamlessly
With an extensive optical fibre backbone now spanning over 5,000 kms and connecting 27 state capitals, GBB strengthens its role as Nigeria’s digital backbone. This development integrates the nation’s six geopolitical zones, promoting digital inclusion, driving economic progress, and reinforcing GBB’s position as a leader in the digital space.
The newly established Abuja-to-Lagos route, covering cities like Minna, Bida, Mokwa, Ilorin, Ogbomoso, Oyo, Ibadan, and Lagos, is a significant enhancement to network reliability. This closed network ring connects Lagos, Nigeria’s economic center, to Abuja, the capital city, ensuring service redundancy and reducing downtime for a superior user experience.
:“This expansion not only supports the government’s digital economy agenda but also sets the stage for meaningful collaboration with private sector organizations seeking to leverage our infrastructure. Together, we can unlock innovation and drive sustainable development across diverse sectors,” stated Adeyanju.
By delivering secure, high-speed connectivity, Galaxy Backbone empowers businesses and government institutions alike. Its expansion into Lagos, Ibadan, and Ilorin solidifies its role in Nigeria’s socio-economic growth and its vision for a digitally inclusive future.
