The regional coordinator received the Kaduna State University team and held a strategic meeting during which an overview of Galaxy Backbone was presented. The Regional Manager on behalf of the Director General stated that the newly commissioned modular facility in Kano is the only Data Center of its kind in the whole of the country and the African sub-region at large. He took the Kaduna State University delegation on a tour of the facility and stressed their readiness to provide services ranging from High-Speed Broadband Connection irrespective of the medium, Cloud Hosting Services, Structured Cabling, on-site server hosting and management, and general high-tech ICT Consultancy Services.
In his response, the Vice-Chancellor expressed appreciation for the warm reception accorded him and his team and assured Galaxy Backbone of Kaduna State University’s interest to partner in a way that mutually benefits both parties.

The Vice-Chancellor commended the Federal Government and the Ministry of Communication and Digital Economy for such a project and enjoined the managers to leave off to the vision of those that sited the project and manage it professionally.

Yusuf, Special Adviser to the Vice-Chancellor on Research Culture, Dr Muhammad Aminu, Dean of the Faculty of Computing and Information Technology, Mallam Muazu Idris, Director of Information and Communication Services, and Mallam Abdulazeez Aliyu Idris, SA to the VC.
