Galaxy Backbone, a government-owned digital infrastructure provider, has strengthened its partnership with the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) to enhance digital skills development within Nigeria. This renewed collaboration came about after a visit by Ibrahim Adeyanju, the Managing Director and CEO of Galaxy Backbone, to NYSC's Director-General, Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu. The partnership aims to support Nigeria's human capital base in alignment with the Federal Government's digital transformation agenda.

In a statement, Adeyanju emphasized the crucial role that Galaxy Backbone plays in providing resilient digital infrastructure which underlies government operations. He noted that this engagement is pivotal for Nigeria’s broader transformation goals encapsulated in the Integrated Digital Transformation Strategy. The focus of the initiative is on developing a workforce that is proficient in digital skills, which is increasingly essential in today’s technology-driven environment.

The collaboration is expected to facilitate training and resources that prepare young Nigerians for challenges in the digital realm. By enhancing digital skills, the partnership ultimately aims to contribute to national development and ensure that the youth are well-equipped to drive the country’s progress in technology and innovation. This initiative reflects a significant step towards building a more digitally competent workforce in Nigeria, addressing both local needs and global competitiveness.
