Finally, he spoke on the need for collaboration in building construction and working as partners in adding its own quota to the development of the country\u2019s economy.
\nWith an overwhelming joy, Prof. Muhammad Bello Abubakar expressed satisfaction with the visit of NBRRI to the agency. He stated that since the establishment of Galaxy Backbone by the Federal Government in 2006, a lot of achievements have been made in trying to connect and uplift the country to a digital world and to meet up with the global realities of digitalization.

\nBased on the requests by Prof. Duna, Prof. Bello graciously accepted to work towards the realization of these requests. He further stated that the area of collaboration is very important at this time. He explained that Galaxy Backbone needs NBRRI more in area of their recent plan of having digital connections as part of building plans in the planning of Housing Estates and building constructions in the country known as Smart Homes.<\/p>\n
