Air Peace has delivered a major boost to the KNOSK 100-Naira-A-Day Secondary School, Kuje, Abuja, with a ₦10 million digital infrastructure upgrade that expands access to quality education for underserved children.
The intervention includes 20 full-year scholarships for students who cannot afford the school’s ₦240,000 annual fee and 10 new laptops worth ₦5 million to strengthen the school’s ICT laboratory and accelerate its transition into a fully equipped Computer-Based Test (CBT) centre.
Founded in 2019 with just 30 students, KNOSK now serves more than 180 learners—many from families unable to provide the symbolic ₦100 daily contribution. Despite these challenges, the school has recorded impressive academic outcomes, including a 100% WAEC pass rate for its first graduating class and several strong JAMB scores above 200.
Air Peace’s support, described as “historic” by the school’s leadership, marks the first time a major Nigerian corporate organisation is contributing to KNOSK’s growth. Until now, assistance had come primarily from foreign missions and international partners.
Representing the airline, Communications Analyst Hawa Oyinloye Alege praised the courage and resilience of the students.
> “This school represents hope and determination. These children continue to dream boldly despite overwhelming odds, and we are proud to support their journey,” she said.
Students highlighted the life-changing impact of the donation.
SS3 student Patience Omuata, a scholarship beneficiary, said:
> “Our parents may not afford the fees, but Air Peace has given 20 of us access to education. We thank Mr. Allen Onyema for being a father to children like us.”
SS1 student Vivian Odizwe said the laptops move the school closer to its goal of becoming a fully digital centre:
> “With WAEC moving to CBT, these laptops will help us practise, write exams, and build digital skills. We appreciate this support.”
Co-founder Kingsley Bangwell called the gesture a turning point:
> “We have received support from Ireland, Finland, and the United States, but never from a major Nigerian corporate body. What Air Peace has done is more than financial—it is validation of our mission.”
His wife and co-founder, Mrs. Irene Bangwell, described Air Peace Chairman Dr. Allen Onyema as a model of courage and resilience whose entrepreneurial story inspires the students.
Air Peace’s support aligns with its long record of humanitarian interventions—from evacuating stranded Nigerians abroad to empowering vulnerable children through partnerships like the 2025 Children’s Day project with Raising Star Africa.
The airline’s latest contribution reinforces its identity as more than an aviation leader—it is a champion of inclusion, dignity, and opportunity, giving KNOSK students the tools and confidence to pursue their dreams.
