We began the month of July with a truly historic and memorable moment.
Twenty years after the visionary decision to establish Galaxy Backbone, we had the honour of paying a courtesy visit to the Founder of the institution, His Excellency, President Olusegun Obasanjo, GCFR.
The visit was more than a reunion—it was a journey through two decades of purpose, innovation, and national impact. It provided an opportunity to reflect on Galaxy Backbone’s remarkable evolution, share the progress we have made in advancing Nigeria’s digital transformation, and introduce the current Executive Management team, led by our Managing Director/CEO, Prof. Ibrahim Adeyanju.
President Obasanjo shared timeless words of wisdom, reminding us that institutions outlive individuals and that their true strength lies in preserving their vision, values, and continuity. He reaffirmed the strategic importance of Galaxy Backbone to Nigeria’s digital future and encouraged us to remain steadfast in protecting and strengthening the legacy that was set in motion twenty years ago.
In recognition of his foresight and enduring contribution, the Managing Director/CEO presented him with a Founder’s Recognition Award—a small token of our profound appreciation for the vision that continues to shape Nigeria’s digital journey.
As we look to the future, we remain committed to building on this legacy by connecting government, empowering institutions, enabling innovation, and delivering world-class digital infrastructure that serves every Nigerian.
The foundation was visionary. The future is even more promising.
