About Us
Nine Oaks Limited was founded on a belief that property development in Lagos could be done with more honesty, more craft, and more long-term thinking than the market typically offered.
We are a full-service real estate enterprise specialising in luxury residential development, facilities management, and investment advisory. Our portfolio spans prime locations across Lagos, from the established prestige of Oniru and Lekki to the rising corridors of Opebi and Ibeju-Lekki.
What separates us is not just what we build, but how we build it. Our team brings together expertise across architecture, project management, facilities operations, and real estate finance. We are deliberate about the projects we take on, the locations we choose, and the standards we uphold because our name goes on every property we deliver.

Ajoke Ogunlaja
DirectorAjoke Ogunlaja is the driving force behind Nine Oaks Limited's strategic direction and market positioning. A seasoned business management professional and real estate director, she brings years of experience spanning multiple industries and markets to her leadership of the company.
Her approach to real estate development is rooted in long-term thinking and an understanding that the most valuable developments are those designed not just for today's market, but for the communities they will serve for decades. It is this perspective that continues to position Nine Oaks as a competitive and forward-thinking player in the Lagos real estate landscape.
Dr. Tony Afolayan
DirectorDr Tony Afolayan brings an unusual and valuable combination of disciplines to the Nine Oaks board. A respected medical director who transitioned into real estate over 15 years ago, his journey reflects the same deliberate, evidence-based thinking that defines his professional background.
That rigour, the habit of examining problems carefully before acting on them, informs how Nine Oaks approaches project selection, risk management, and client relationships. Dr Afolayan's presence on the board is a reminder that the best decisions in any field are made by people trained to think clearly under pressure.
Mr. Kamarou Lassissi
DirectorKamarou Lassissi is the operational backbone of Nine Oaks' portfolio delivery. With years of dedicated expertise in real estate facilities management, he brings a ground-level understanding of what it takes to maintain a property asset at the highest standard, not just at completion, but throughout its lifetime.
His experience ensures that every Nine Oaks development benefits from operational thinking built into the design stage, not retrofitted after delivery. Facilities that work, systems that hold, and assets that continue to perform: that is his contribution to every project the company undertakes.
Why Choose Us
The difference is in how we work.
We are not simply in the business of selling properties. We are in the business of building confidence in the land, in the structure, and in the relationship that continues long after keys are exchanged.
End-to-End Ownership: We manage every phase from land assessment and design through to construction, finishing, and post-delivery management. Nothing is outsourced, nothing is passed off.
Prime Location Intelligence: Every Nine Oaks development sits in a location chosen for growth potential, not just current prestige. We invest in where Lagos is going, not just where it has been.
Return-Focused Design: Aesthetic appeal and investment value are not in conflict here. We engineer both into every unit because a beautiful home that doesn’t appreciate is a wasted asset.
A Board You Can Trust: Led by professionals with deep roots in real estate, medicine, and business management, Nine Oaks is governed by people who understand what long-term value actually means.
