About Company
“I went to Italy and China to learn how the world’s best safety boots are made. I came back to Nigeria to prove we could make them better — and test them better — right here.”
Shamsideen Atunde founded Yikodeen Safety in 2016 with a small team and a modest workshop in Surulere, Lagos. His first production run was just 20 pairs per day. His conviction: Nigeria could produce world-class safety footwear.
From those humble beginnings in Surulere, YIKODEEN has grown into West Africa’s premier safety footwear manufacturer. With our newly commissioned world-class manufacturing facility in Ejigbo, Lagos — the first of its kind in West Africa — we now have the capacity to produce over 5,000 pairs in 24 hours, powered by a skilled team of 500 employees, over 61% of whom are women.
We combine cutting-edge technology with traditional craftsmanship to create safety footwear specifically engineered for Nigerian and African industrial environments. Every pair is tested in West Africa’s most equipped PPE testing laboratory — certified by TÜV, Intertek and SGS.
At YIKODEEN, we believe proper protection is not just about meeting standards — it’s about understanding the unique challenges workers face daily. With YIKODEEN Safety, we stand with you to help protect your workers so they can go home safe and sound at the end of every day.,
YIKODEEN is home to West Africa’s most equipped PPE testing laboratory — capable of testing safety boots, FR coveralls, hard hats, ear muffs, gloves and eyewear to international standards. Every product certified by TÜV, Intertek and SGS before it reaches a work site.
Core Services
Oil & Gas
Nigeria's oil and gas industry demands the highest possible level of foot protection. YIKODEEN is the country's ONLY NCDMB-certified safety footwear supplier to this sector — a distinction earned through compliance, proven quality, and the trust of Nigeria's largest operators. Our S7S rated boots deliver waterproof protection, Kevlar anti-penetration midsoles, composite toecaps, and heat-resistant outsoles — meeting both EN ISO 20345:2022 and ASTM F2413-24 dual certification. Every boot TÜV, Intertek and SGS tested.Const-ruction
Nigeria's construction boom demands boots that simultaneously handle falling objects, steel rebar puncture risk, electrical hazards, and prolonged standing on uneven ground. YIKODEEN's construction range carries ISO 20345:2022 and SON MANCAP certification — required on every regulated Nigerian project site. Our PEAK FW-2605 delivers EH (Electrical Hazard) rated protection with dual Kevlar/steel midsole for sites with live electrical work — the most technically demanding construction boot we make. All tested in our PPE lab.FMCG & Bottling
FMCG production environments present a uniquely complex set of hazards. Wet epoxy floors. Caustic cleaning chemicals. Broken glass. Electrical panel exposure. Workers on their feet for 12-hour shifts. YIKODEEN was the first safety footwear manufacturer in Nigeria to conduct a full multi-zone hazard audit for a bottling company — revealing that six different work areas required six different levels of protection. The answer isn't one boot. It's a complete system — each zone mapped, each hazard identified, each foot protected by the right certified solution. Our NBC case study shows exactly what this looks like in practice.Engineering & Maintenance
Engineers and maintenance technicians face diverse, unpredictable hazards — from live electrical work near high-voltage panels to chemical spills, heavy machine components, and prolonged kneeling on hard surfaces. YIKODEEN's EH-rated and composite-toe range is engineered for the specific demands of Nigeria's engineering and industrial maintenance workforce. Our PEAK FW-2605 delivers S3S protection with EH (Electrical Hazard) rating and dual Kevlar/steel midsole. For lighter maintenance roles, our FORGE and DOVE range provides S3S steel-toecap protection with ESD properties — all tested and certified in our PPE lab.Power & Energy
Workers in Nigeria's power and energy sector — from generation plants to transmission stations and electrical panel maintenance — face some of the most severe hazards in industry. Arc flash, high voltage exposure, and extreme heat require footwear that provides certified electrical protection without compromising comfort or mobility. YIKODEEN's EH-rated range provides protection against electrical hazards, arc flash and heat exposure — all tested to international standards in our PPE lab and certified by TÜV, Intertek and SGS. No other Nigerian manufacturer can offer this level of verified protection.Contact Information
