Kachifo Limited is an independent publishing house based in Lagos, Nigeria. It was founded in 2004 by Muhtar Bakare. Its imprints include Farafina Books, Farafina Educational, and Prestige Books. From 2004 to 2009, it published the influential Farafina Magazine.
Kachifo's work is notable in postcolonial literature for helping lay "the foundations of a pan-African literary network"[1] alongside Cassava Republic Press and Nairobi-based publishers Kwani Trust.[2][3] Several Nigerian authors who have later achieved international success either worked at Kachifo or were first published by Kachifo, including Oyinkan Braithwaite, Petina Gappah, and Bisi Adjapon.
