Kerojet Services Limited has commissioned an ICT Center in Ipaja, Lagos, signaling a strong push for community development. More on Kerojet Services Limited.
The project, officially named the NASFAT Youth Information Tech Center (NASYITEC), was executed through The Pillar’s Dream Living Foundation, the company’s philanthropic arm. With this initiative, Kerojet Services is bridging the digital divide while strengthening Nigeria’s knowledge economy.
Managing Director of Kerojet Services, Mr. Femi Balogun, said the project reflected the company’s dual commitment to aviation excellence and community empowerment.
“We believe true progress is measured not just by business growth, but by the impact we make in people’s lives. Commissioning this ICT Center is about unlocking possibilities for Ipaja youth, helping them gain skills, access opportunities, and dream bigger,” Mr. Balogun explained. “Our expansion across Nigeria and into the international aviation market has given us a platform, and we’re determined to use it to empower communities wherever we operate.”
Aviation Growth, Community Impact
Founded in 2016, Kerojet Services Limited has expanded rapidly, with aviation fueling stations in Lagos, Abuja, Kano, Jos, Port Harcourt, Kebbi, Kaduna, Yola, Sokoto, and Maiduguri. The company fuels both domestic and international airlines, reinforcing Nigeria’s aviation competitiveness.
Mr. Balogun stressed that the company’s fueling operations serve as touch-points for job creation, safety, and technical excellence. He added:
“ Our fueling stations in ten strategic Nigerian cities are more than just assets; they’re touchpoints for creating value, jobs, and technical excellence across the country.”
“As we extend our services to the international aviation industry, we’re focused on setting industry benchmarks for safety, reliability, and operational efficiency. We see every market we enter as a chance to raise standards, not only for our clients, but for the communities that host us,” Balogun said. “That’s why investments like this ICT Center matter: we want to fuel progress at every level, from tarmacs to classrooms.”
Government Commends Kerojet Services
Commissioner for Innovation, Science and Technology in Lagos State, Hon. Olaniyan Michael, praised the company’s initiative.
“This is the kind of public-private partnership Lagos State champions. By investing in technology and skills, Kerojet is investing in the future of our youth and our economy,” he said.
He added that technology remains the most powerful driver of national advancement, urging more private sector leaders to emulate Kerojet Services in supporting innovation and workforce readiness.
NASFAT Hails Transformational Impact
President of NASFAT Ipaja Branch, Alhaji Abdulwaheed Ayodeji, described the ICT Center as a gift of hope for the community.
“What we witness today is more than the gift of technology; it is the gift of hope and a future for our youth. This ICT Center will be a beacon for our community, opening doors to knowledge and opportunity that were once out of reach. On behalf of NASFAT and the entire Ipaja community, we thank Kerojet Services Limited and Mr. Femi Balogun for this life-changing gesture.”
He continued, “This partnership sets a new benchmark for how corporate organizations can work hand-in-hand with local communities. By empowering our young people with digital skills, we are not only preparing them for jobs of today, but for the challenges and innovations of tomorrow. This center will ignite ambitions, foster creativity, and build leaders.”
Aviation Excellence and Social Responsibility
Kerojet Services has earned trust in the aviation sector by redefining fueling standards through precision, safety, and reliability. Its ongoing investments in people and infrastructure highlight a vision where business growth uplifts entire communities.
With the ICT Center now operational, the company has reaffirmed its commitment: fueling planes, powering communities, and inspiring the next generation of Nigerian innovators.
