Company Profile
Bridging the Gap Between Traditional Engineering and the Future of Industrial Intelligence
Executive Overview
Since its founding in 2002, the Automation and Engineering Academy (AEA) has been at the forefront of Nigeria's industrial evolution. What began as a specialized electrical repair firm has matured into a premier powerhouse for high-tech industrial automation and engineering excellence.
Our Journey: From Local Service to Global Standards
In our early years, AEA established a reputation for reliability, providing essential industrial electrical services throughout Nigeria's Western Region. We were the “boots on the ground” ensuring that local industries kept their power running and their machinery functional.
The 2012 Strategic Transformation
The year 2012 marked a pivotal chapter in our history. Following the advanced research and studies of our founder, Professor Engr. Adewale Ikotun, in Electronics and Automation Engineering in the United Kingdom, AEA underwent a comprehensive rebranding. We didn't just change our name; we upgraded our entire philosophy.
By integrating world-class technical insights with our deep-rooted local experience, we transitioned from a service firm into a high-tech solutions provider capable of tackling the most complex technological challenges of the 21st century.
