About Us. The era of isolation in aviation education is over. Most of aviation technologies in advanced world

are utilized outside the airport environment. They can commonly be found at our homes, shops and

small & large scale industries.

Our development plan is to develop research in aviation technological advancement and bring

aviation to your doorsteps. The Center run a semester system. But prospective students can enroll

on monthly basis.

Aviation education is that branch of general education concerned with communicating knowledge,

skills, and attitudes about aviation and its impact upon society. It may be integrated as part of the

curriculums for high schools and tertiary institutions.

The advent of aviation education has contributed immensely to the technological advancement of the

industrialized nations. You can graduate right from Secondary School and pursue your aviation

dream at Lagos State Polytechnic. The training involved in aviation has built-in skills that our youths

can acquire to become job creators instead of being job seekers.

Aviation is the fastest growing industry in Africa today. There are existing shortages of skilled

manpower to service the growing aviation industry. Most companies hire foreign expatriates

because the indigenous people don’t have the required skills/experiences to take on these jobs.

Our training institution seeks collaborations and partner with (public & private) secondary schools

to implement Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) curriculum using aviation

technology. Catch them while they are young.

Our graduates will hence be equipped with the tools to contribute to a sustainable technological

advancement of aerospace industry in Nigeria.

Unemployment in Nigeria There are over 65 million unemployed people in Nigeria. More of them are our youths. If you are a

Nigerian, you probably know someone between the ages of 15-35 looking for a job. A large number

of these youths have college degrees, many graduated from two to five years ago. They are your

children, cousins, nephews, nieces, brothers and sisters. And they all have one thing in common.

!!!!! No Jobs !!!!!!.

In aviation, there are over three hundred freshly graduated pilots unemployed in Nigeria largely

because they have no experience to secure lucrative jobs with Airlines. Our school to work program

will provide experience opportunities for our young graduates to secure those lucrative jobs

available in the industry.
