V. L. K. Djokoto (b. 1995) is a forward-thinking Ghanaian cultural theorist, adviser and gallerist.
In 2016, he graduated from Swansea University with a degree in law after three years of undergraduate studies. A fresh graduate, his first job was as Legal Aide for the Ghana Armed Forces. He then served as a court clerk at the circuit court, high court – finance division, and supreme court as a legal researcher. Thereafter, he joined Enjoy magazine, where he wrote a monthly column. This was the beginning of his career in journalism. During this period, Djokoto became the proprietor of the Accra Evening News — reviving Kwame Nkrumah's newspaper.
Between 2017–18, he was trained as a solicitor at the City Law School, University of London.
Since 2018, he’s led D. K. T. Djokoto & Co — an old-fashioned top-tier multi-family office, established in 1950 — deeply anchored on residential real estate, rural banking, media, and show business. He also worked at Class FM as a broadcast journalist and producer with a focus on politics. While at Class FM, he simultaneously joined the Metropolitan Entertainment Television, where he produced Good Evening Ghana and doubled as a court reporter.
In 2019, he turned his private residence into a live-in art gallery — the Ka xoxowo Salon.
In 2020, he joined the NDCs campaign as a public relations specialist. As team-lead, communications for Jane Nana Opoku-Agyemang FGA — Vice-Presidential Candidate for the National Democratic Congress — he managed photographers and a filmmaker, and led creative direction. He also managed Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang’s social media during this era and authored human-interest stories centred on the Vice-Presidential candidate for the Daily Graphic, Ghana News Agency, Citi News, Joy News and Radio Gold Online.
After the 2020 campaign, he took up full-time leadership of his family office, D. K. T. Djokoto & Co — exiting an exciting career in political journalism — and until 2026 was at the helm of the family office’s affairs.
As managing partner of D. K. T. Djokoto & Co, he advised the European Union – Ghana, Ministry of Finance – Ghana, Societe Generale Ghana, National Petroleum Authority – Ghana, Ghana Investment Promotion Centre and Information Services Department – Ghana, amongst others.
Through expertly curated artistic experiences, he seeks to mobilise Ghanaians weaving African music, literature and art. He is the author of Revolution and a play, Afro Gbede.
