According to the Rojenny Boss, His International Stadium is interested in helping Nigerian Youths rediscover themselves and become positively engaged in society.

Our youths are creative and talented, what they need is the correct orientation and development and that is our core value in Rojenny; to develop talents.” – he stated.
