Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Kaarakata Group
Segun Adedeji
A systems engineer who has spent fifteen years building businesses that have to work every day.
Segun Adedeji founded Kaarakata Group in 2010 and leads all three of its companies. He holds a BSc in Computer Science from the Federal University of Technology, Akure, specialising in computer networking and in graphics and modelling.
As an undergraduate he joined the engineering contractor delivering Ondo State’s SITADEC shared-infrastructure programme, commissioning VSAT earth stations, deploying point-to-multipoint wireless networks and building out the data centre. That work led to a technical consultancy for the network of the Ondo State Governor’s Office, through to formal handover to the state.
His final-year project designed an aircraft-tracking system architecture for the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, which has remained in use for more than fifteen years.
In 2010 he founded the first official on-site laundry at Babcock University, serving more than 5,000 students. The same year he began the trading business that became Kaarakata Global Resources, which has since traded with buyers in fifteen countries. He founded Mansa Energy in 2021 and Bastion Concrete Industries to take the group into clean energy and industrial manufacturing.
