‘The True Currency of the Digital Economy Isn’t Data—It’s Trust’
In today’s world, almost every interaction – from business transactions to public service delivery is powered by digital technology. Yet, for all its speed and efficiency, the true currency of a digital economy is not data or infrastructure. It is trust.
Trust is what makes people confident that their information is secure
Trust is what makes people confident that their information is secure, that systems will work as promised, and that those managing our digital infrastructure are guided by integrity and responsibility. Without trust, even the most advanced technologies lose their value.
At Galaxy Backbone (GBB), this understanding shapes everything we do. As Federal Government of Nigeria’s digital infrastructure company, our mission goes beyond providing connectivity and cloud services; it’s about ensuring our customers, stakeholders and partners can depend on us completely.
Whether it’s government agencies connecting through our national fibre network or organisations hosting data in our Tier III and Tier IV certified data centres, every interaction must reinforce reliability and security.
‘Leadership in this digital era begins with openness and accountability’
For me, leadership in this digital era begins with openness and accountability. I’ve learned that acknowledging challenges builds more confidence than pretending they don’t exist. When we communicate honestly, deliver consistently, and uphold our commitments, trust naturally follows. I’ve seen it firsthand, when we respond swiftly to service issues, share progress transparently, or exceed expectations, relationships deepen and confidence grows.
But trust is not built by technology alone; it is built by people. Behind every network cable and other solutions are people dedicated to keeping Nigeria’s digital ecosystem strong and secure. At GBB, we invest in their growth, their skills, and their sense of purpose because a trusted organization starts with trusted people.
‘My focus remains on strengthening the foundations of digital trust’
As we continue to enable a more connected Nigeria, my focus remains on strengthening the foundations of digital trust, through reliability, transparency, and collaboration. The future of our digital economy depends on it. And together, with our partners, customers, and team, we can build not just digital infrastructure and systems, but confidence. The kind that makes innovation sustainable and progress unstoppable.
