Galaxy Backbone is proud to announce its role as a key player in Project 774 LG Connectivity, a transformative initiative by the federal ministry of communications, innovation and digital economy aimed at connecting all 774 Local Government secretariats across Nigeria to the internet.
At Galaxy Backbone, we understand the critical role that local government administrations play in the delivery of government services and driving economic progress and development across the nation.
Moreso, as a Partner of this ambitious project, GBB will be providing state-of-the-art digital infrastructure, through its cross country optical fibre, presently with coverage across over 30 states of the federation, which accounts for over 5000 kilometers of fibre laid across the country by Galaxy Backbone.
The Project 774LG connectivity is an initiative aimed at reducing the limited connectivity across the 774 Local Governments across the country. It is driven by the Federal Government through the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy and under the supervision of the Honourable Minister of Communications, Innovation & Digital Economy., Dr. Bosun Tijani who recently launched this project and is championing the delivery of this project across the country.
According to the Dr. Bosun, ‘ The implementation of this project is expected to drive transformation and unlock opportunities that will deliver sustainable development for all, through the power of connectivity,’. GBB believes that through this project, the local government will be empowered to do more and explore better opportunity, while enhancing inclusive growth and bridging the digital divide.
The partnership with our sister Agency is meant to serve as a combination of both Satellite and Fibre Optic Cable connectivity services. Nigcomsat focus on areas where they will provide efficient connectivity services through their Satellite services, while Galaxy Backbone will focus on areas where it can provide Fibre Optic Cable connectivity services to the Local Government Areas.
Through this collaboration, all the Local government authorities will be able to enhance the lives of their people through the provision of access to modern information and services, empower local businesses to do more with their business, foster digital skills and promote all levels of inclusiveness.
GBB provides digital infrastructure services to enhance connectivity and enable digital transformation across various sectors of the country.
