These accomplishments underscore GBB’s unwavering commitment to excellence in service delivery and its leadership in advancing Nigeria’s public sector through pioneering technological solutions.
A significant milestone in Nigeria’s digital transformation journey was marked by the launch of the GBB GovMail Email Platform in November 2024, spearheaded by the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation.

His swift actions protected critical infrastructure and ensured uninterrupted business continuity. This recognition highlights the individual’s professionalism and technical expertise, which aligns with GBB’s core values of excellence and innovation.
