Ericsson and Galaxy Backbone Partners to transform Nigeria’s ICT

Ericsson and Galaxy Backbone, the government’s Information and Communications Technology shared services provider in Nigeria, have agreed to a partnership to design and deploy ICT-based solutions and services supporting the delivery of efficient public service in the country.

According to them, the partnership is in keeping with the Nigerian government’s commitment to leverage ICT for job creation, improved security, economic diversification and social inclusion.

It also supports the Minister of Communication’s vision to deploy e-Government as a tool to improve governance and efficiency in the public service.

Under the terms of the partnership, spanning three years, Ericsson will serve as advisor, systems integrator and implementation partner for ICT-based solutions and services covering the transport, utility and safety and security sectors.

Ericsson will also manage all deployed solutions and services, while building capacity within Galaxy Backbone and ensuring that all deployments are eventually handed over to the government along with selected private sector players.
