Amaechi Ndili’s New Project

By January 2016, the quintessential businessman, Amaechi Ndili would have kick-started his hospitality academy: African Hospitality Academy.

At the moment, finishing touches are being put to the academy which will serve as a learning ground for graduates interested in hospitality business. But more importantly, Ndili who is well schooled in hospitality business seeks to groom seasoned professionals in the industry.

The institution will share the same ground with his hotel facility, Golden Tulip Hotels in Festac town, Lagos, and well-equipped to meet the demands of working in a digital age. Moreover, the lecturers are a delectable mix of Nigerians and foreigners. Courses offered are spread across four semesters which will run for 18 months and the students have access to loan facilities. But the good part of the academy apart from it being residential is that the students are guaranteed job placements after graduating.

Ndili’s new project testifies to his unfailing and efficient entrepreneurial skills that have led to various establishments. He is the founder of Lionstone Group- a premier investment and holding company operating in the West African region with a number of subsidiaries focused on oil & gas, hotels & hospitality, healthcare and real estate. He is presently the Chairman of Golden Tulip Hotels West Africa. 

Prior to Lionstone Group, Amaechi was a Managing Director in the Real Estate Group at GE Capital Corporation. The businessman gained his academic qualifications from University of Nigeria where he bagged an M.Sc and B.Sc in Architecture. He also has an MBA from Wharton.
