Galaxy Backbone Limited (GBB), Nigeria’s leading digital infrastructure and shared services provider, has achieved global success following its International Standards Organisation (ISO) recertification across four globally recognised categories.
This was disclosed in a statement issued yesterday by Chidi Okpala, Head, Corporate Communications of GBB Limited, stressing that this feat will boost trust, resilience, and confidence in Nigeria’s Digital Infrastructure ecosystem.
The four categories include ISO 9001 – Quality Management Systems (QMS), which entails ensuring consistent delivery of high-quality services and continual improvement across operations; ISO 22301—Business Continuity Management Systems (BCMS), Which Guarantees resilience, availability, and recovery of services in the face of disruptions.
The others include ISO 20000 – Service Management Systems (SMS): Standardising service delivery to ensure reliability, efficiency, and customer satisfaction and ISO 27001 – Information Security Management Systems (ISMS): Protecting data confidentiality, integrity, and availability against evolving cybersecurity threats.
This recertification follows a rigorous and independent audit, reaffirming GBB’s ability to provide secure, scalable, and sustainable digital services to government ministries, departments, agencies (MDAs), and private sector organisations.
According to Prof. Ibrahim Adeyanju, the MD/CEO of GBB Limited, “These certifications go beyond compliance; they are a statement of trust.”
He said, “For our customers, this means the services they rely on, from connectivity to cloud hosting and cybersecurity, meet the highest international standards of quality, resilience, and security. This is central to our mission of enabling Nigeria’s digital transformation and helping organisations thrive in an increasingly connected and competitive global economy.”
Galaxy Backbone’s ISO recertification gives stakeholders increased confidence that Government MDAs can securely host and manage sensitive data, digital platforms, and citizen services with guaranteed uptime and disaster recovery readiness.
It also assures private enterprises can leverage GBB’s infrastructure to scale operations, meet regulatory requirements, and ensure their customers have secure digital transactions and data protection. GBB’s Development and Industry partners can trust that GBB operates to global standards, providing a robust platform for digital inclusion, e-governance, and economic growth.
The statement added that this achievement directly supports the Federal Government’s digital economy strategy by enabling end-to-end digitalisation of public sector operations, fostering innovation, and reducing risks in mission-critical services. This aligns with GBB’s Integrated Digital Transformation Strategy (IDTS) 2025-2028.
