Dikko Nwachukwu is the CEO of Andara Systems, Africa's independent aviation intelligence platform. Built under BAC Intelligence LLC, Andara sits between data and decision, creating the credit intelligence infrastructure that African aviation has never had, and giving capital the independent judgment to know when to deploy and, critically, when to walk away.
With over 25 years in African aviation spanning airline operations, aircraft leasing, and complex deal structuring, Dikko brings rare practitioner depth to the problem. His experience includes serving as Chief Commercial Officer at Aero Contractors Nigeria and closing over $100M in African aviation transactions as a principal lessor. Across those years, he watched the same failure repeat itself, aircraft orders, SLBs, fleet placements, and financing structures that should have worked, collapsing not because Africa is unviable, but because the intelligence to underwrite them correctly never existed. Andara is the answer to that pattern.
Andara's founding thesis: Capital is not the constraint. Intelligence is.
Dikko is based in Lagos, Nigeria.
