Kayode Dada possesses three degrees across Nigeria and United Kingdom, all in the field of Psychology. He obtained his first degree at the then University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University), Masters Degree at University of Benin, and PhD at the University Essex in England.

Dr Dada is primarily a practicing Psychologist but his professional and business interest in the building industry spans four decades. He started his interest by leading in the construction of his family home in Lagos, right from purchase of the land, legal possession of the land, building approval process, and through to the full construction of the building. Kayode has since developed interest, skills and massive experience in the whole area of building industry and property management, under the aegis of DAKOO Properties.

He has operated through a carefully selected team of experts, who constitute the best and sought-after professionals and specialists in the estate business environment. He established a legal team of lawyers whose commitments are absolutely to protect DAKOO’s clients. The legal and marketing teams are well equipped to assist in sourcing for lands and buildings anywhere in Nigeria, and carry out a due-diligence process that ensures transactions are legal and legitimate. They take a leading role in the implementation and monitoring of contractual agreements.

DAKOO, under his management, is composed of experienced and professionally credible Architects and Structural Engineers. Operating under his supervision, they have been very passionate in producing person-specific designs in their construction works across the country. His team of quantity surveyors have ensured efficient, reliable and valid cost estimates, thereby ensuring the need for avoidable cost variations. The builders work collaboratively with other team members, especially the Architects, Structural Engineer, and Quantity Surveyors to ensure physical and structural integrity of their constructions, in the most cost-effective manner.
