Galaxy Backbone Backs Nigeria’s Transition to a Fully Paperless Civil Service
Galaxy Backbone described the milestone as a strong close to 2025 and reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the Federal Government in building a modern, efficient, and digitally enabled public service.
Galaxy Backbone (GBB) has aligned with and celebrated the Federal Government’s official announcement of the successful transition to a Paperless Civil Service, marking a major milestone in Nigeria’s ongoing public sector reform and digital transformation agenda.
The achievement was formally announced at a press briefing led by the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs. Didi Esther Walson-Jack, who commended Galaxy Backbone for its sustained support and strategic contributions to the implementation of the initiative.
Galaxy Backbone played a critical role in enabling the transition by providing secure, scalable, and shared digital infrastructure that supports the digitisation of government operations across Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs). Through the 1Government Cloud, MDAs were empowered to migrate from paper-based workflows to digital platforms, improving operational efficiency, collaboration, data security, and service delivery across the Federal Civil Service.
In addition, GovMail, GBB’s secure government email platform, strengthened official communication, enhanced records management, and reinforced cybersecurity standards—key pillars for sustaining a paperless operating environment within government.
Galaxy Backbone acknowledged the collective efforts of the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Permanent Secretaries, Directors of ICT, consultants, partners, and dedicated public servants whose collaboration and commitment ensured the successful delivery of the initiative.
The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Galaxy Backbone, Prof. Ibrahim Adeyanju, was represented at the press briefing by Akintayo Bamisaye, Acting Group Head, Research, Digital Innovation and Skills Department (RDIS).
Galaxy Backbone described the milestone as a strong close to 2025 and reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the Federal Government in building a modern, efficient, and digitally enabled public service.
