Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 78194, member: 636"] Nigeria's push for digital control is focusing on keeping data inside the country. Recent outages on global platforms have shown the risks of relying on foreign servers, which can break financial systems and weaken security. Storing data abroad leaves institutions exposed to outside policies, service breaks, and security holes. The government's answer is its own infrastructure provider, Galaxy Backbone. They run high-grade data centers locally, offering a sovereign cloud for agencies, banks, and businesses. This setup promises better speed, stronger compliance with Nigerian laws, and less downtime from international disruptions. The push is for both public and private sectors to host their critical operations within these domestic facilities to ensure control and continuity. The overall goal is digital independence, framing local data storage as essential for national security and economic stability. [/QUOTE]
