Axendit was founded in July 2014 as a subsidiary of Asseco Poland S.A. (”Asseco Poland”), the 5th largest IT company in Europe by revenues headquartered in Poland, one of the top 20 companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange, with subsidiaries also listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and the New York NASDAQ.
Axendit was created in 2014 as a startup and has grown over the years to become a leading IT company in Nigeria and West Africa. The company started by providing local software customization, implementation, integration and support of Asseco Group solutions and expanded into local software development, UAV & cybersecurity services, increasing local added value and providing tailor made solutions to its growing customer base.
2024 was a key pivotal year as Axendit completed a management buy-out and rebranding on the occasion of its 10-year anniversary. This strategic shift was made to increase local added value and invest additional resources in the company's own products, services and intellectual property. However, Axendit maintains a strong partnership agreement and excellent working relationship with the Asseco Group, to leverage on Asseco Group's experience in digitizing private companies' and public administrations' key services and business processes. Such partnership also enables Axendit to make its customers benefit from available and innovative funding options for large IT projects.
At Axendit, our purpose is to drive positive change using technology. Our vision and slogan is “innovative solutions, transformational impact”. We develop and implement innovative solutions which meet the needs of even the most demanding customers because we believe that in this way, we can effect positive change. Our mission is to build a robust and profitable African IT company providing our customers with high quality IT solutions and services. We have a diversified offering (Software, Cybersecurity & Trust Services, UAV & GIS Services) and are also diversified geographically with revenues from FCFA / EUR pegged West Africa as well as from Nigeria. We focus on improving our own competences and providing integrated tailor-made IT solutions with considerable local added value, at the most competitive price.
Our key solution areas are primarily:
- Financial Services: Banking and Insurance

- Public Sector: eGovernment, Tax Collection, Social Security, Security & Defense
- Unmanned Aerial Vehicles & GIS: Public & Enterprise Sectors

Axendit is unique as it was initially created as a subsidiary of a global IT group and has over the years significantly increased its local content. This drive supports our strategy of providing local added value in terms of customization, implementation, integration and support of our software solutions to meet our African clients' most demanding and specific business needs. Our vision is to become the strategic technology partner to our customers driving their competitive edge and offering to them high quality solutions at low cost.
Of note, Axendit has delivered unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to Lagos State within the frame of the Lagos eGIS Project and has mapped the whole of Lagos State (over 3.500km2) using UAVs, all conducted using a fully Nigerian crew. The project's output is a high resolution & accuracy orthophoto map, which is used as a base map for land surveys and issuance of digital title documents.
Last but not least, Axendit has played a key role in the Togo Cyber Defense Africa project, which consists in the creation of the national cybersecurity operations center (SOC) and computer emergency response team (CERT) in Togo under a public-private partnership between the Togolese Republic and the Asseco Group. This project was successfully delivered according to plan between January and September 2020, in spite of the major difficulties related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
