Galaxy Backbone Limited, Nigeria’s state owned digital infrastructure and shared services provider, has reaffirmed its position as a cornerstone of the country’s digital transformation agenda by securing the renewal of four globally recognised ISO certifications a move that bolsters innovation, fosters trust, and lays the groundwork for enhanced digital education and national development.
The certifications ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 22301 (Business Continuity), ISO 20000 (Service Management), and ISO 27001 (Information Security) followed rigorous audits by the International Standards Organisation (ISO), reflecting Galaxy Backbone’s unwavering commitment to excellence, resilience, and secure service delivery.
In a statement issued by the company’s Head of Corporate Communications, Chidi Okpala, the renewed certifications signal a step forward in Galaxy Backbone’s strategic partnerships with government agencies, educational institutions, and the private sector, enabling them to leverage trusted digital infrastructure for learning, innovation, and economic inclusion.
“These certifications are more than regulatory achievements, they’re foundational to our mission of transforming Nigeria into a secure digital economy, enabling innovation, and building a more educated, digitally fluent population,” said Prof. Ibrahim Adeyanju, Managing Director/CEO of Galaxy Backbone.
Also the ISO recertifications validate Galaxy Backbone’s systems across key performance areas, including service quality, cyber resilience, and information protection. This enables the company to offer secure hosting, cloud services, and digital infrastructure to public and private institutions critical for innovation, research, and digital learning.
Galaxy Backbone’s infrastructure now serves as a reliable platform for digital learning initiatives and institutional capacity development across Nigeria. By maintaining international best practices, it ensures educators, learners, and government workers have access to secure and uninterrupted online systems crucial for digital literacy, professional training, and modern public service delivery.
Through partnerships with academic institutions and government training schemes, Galaxy Backbone is providing the backbone literally for digital skilling, remote learning, and youth empowerment across the country. The company’s strengthened global certifications come at a time when Nigeria is intensifying efforts to build a digitally inclusive economy. The Federal Government recently reaffirmed Galaxy Backbone as the official ICT provider for its ministries, departments, and agencies positioning it as a strategic partner for digital governance and national digital infrastructure.
These partnerships not only improve service efficiency and reduce capital flight through local data hosting, but also stimulate job creation in the tech sector and enhance Nigeria’s digital competitiveness globally. With these certifications, our partners can trust that their digital operations are supported by a system that meets global expectations for quality, security, and performance.
