Prof Akin Akindoyeni
DG (2015-2019)
During the tenure of Prof. Akin Akindoyeni, QS Academy embarked on a defining path of growth and transformation. Under his visionary leadership, foundational institutional frameworks were established, setting the stage for enhanced performance, operational efficiency, and long-term sustainability.
One of the most significant milestones achieved during this period was the acquisition of a dedicated property located at No. 21, 4th Avenue, Gwarimpa, Abuja. This facility was secured to serve as the official home of QS Academy and the NIQS Library, symbolizing a firm commitment to professional education and resource development. With critical support from the Nigerian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (NIQS), the building was fully renovated and equipped, creating a functional and conducive learning environment for staff, trainees, and researchers. The facilities were utilized during the early years, up until our recent shift toward intensive digital transformation and increased reliance on technology.
Prof. Akindoyeni’s administration also recorded remarkable progress in curriculum development. Working in close collaboration with the appointed management consultant, the Academy expanded and enriched its course offerings to align with global best practices and the evolving needs of the construction industry.
His tenure laid the foundation upon which subsequent administrations continue to build, reinforcing QS Academy’s position as a centre of excellence in professional training and development.
