The culinary academy, under the leadership of its founder, a two-time record-breaking chef, Hilda Baci, has stated that it continues to redefine Nigeria’s culinary landscape, not only through personal milestones but also by building structures that empower others.
Reflecting on the journey, Hilda Baci emphasised that the academy was built to outlive individual achievements and empower future leaders of the culinary industry.
“This isn’t just about cooking or records. It’s about building people, creating access, and showing that excellence can be taught, supported, and rewarded. Every student and every staff member here is part of a larger story, and I’m proud of what we’re building together,” Ms Baci said.

The year-ending gathering highlighted the scale of the academy’s reach, uniting graduates from different cohorts in one shared space, and closing the year with reflections on the values of growth, discipline, and excellence that have become synonymous with the Hilda Baci brand.
Also, the event received a strong show of support from brand partners, including Scanfrost, Viva, Gino, Bama, Lush Hair, and Aquafina. In collaboration with Ms Baci, the brands rewarded outstanding commitment and performance across the academy’s community.
