Without an iota of doubt, Lagos —the Centre of Excellence— is major when discussion is about where hospitality is at its best. The megacity boasts of various kinds of hospitable experiences that can be explored especially in the area of tourism. In that loop, there is one young, dynamic, beautiful lady by name: Ngozi Anyadiegwu who undoubtedly has helped Lagos attain that enviable status in hospitality. For the very resourceful Ngozi, she has become a point person at one of the privately owned beaches in Lagos: Barracuda in Ajah.
About seven years ago, Ngozi turned her dream and peculiar idea of running a beach into reality when she birthed Barracuda. Of course, like every other business, the new idea was barely given a chance to survive. But as one who had mapped out a strategy to run the venture, this entrepreneur continued to sail steadily as she navigated through early challenges that could have shut down her new baby. Expectedly, the feat cost her hard work, dedication, and perseverance, and today, she’s celebrated for the gains she’s recorded. Although Ngozi may still be far off from her desired destination as a lifestyle entrepreneur, she’s no longer where she used to be, as the effect of her business acumen is beginning to be noticed and appreciated by those who appreciate good taste and class —as evident in what she’s been able to do with her hospitality concern.
As an entrepreneur who knows her onions, hardworking Ngozi —happily married to Dr. Okey Anyadiegwu with two lovely children— is already perfecting innovations that are meant to give her business empire a feel of the festive atmosphere during these Christmas and New Year celebrations.
