§ 03.01 · Sector coverage

Eight verticals, one operating standard.

Selected based on where Nigeria’s structural opportunity is widest and where the execution gap is deepest.

SECTOR 01

Energy & Extractives

Upstream and midstream oil & gas, mining concessions, and renewables. Heavy regulatory perimeter, high counterparty exposure, and meaningful site-security demands.

Focus · DPR, NUPRC, NMDPRA
SECTOR 02

Industrial & Manufacturing

Greenfield plant set-up, existing-plant acquisitions, and contract manufacturing. Site selection, NIPC incentive structuring, and operational stand-up.

Focus · NEPC, SON, MAN
SECTOR 03

Financial Services & Fintech

Licensing into CBN regulatory tiers, NDPR-aligned data architecture, and partner-bank diligence. Frequent overlap with fintech sponsorship and PSP arrangements.

Focus · CBN, NDPR, NIBSS
SECTOR 04

Agribusiness & Food Systems

Off-take structuring, primary-processing site selection, and out-grower scheme verification. GeoVerify is particularly differentiated here.

Focus · NAFDAC, NESREA, FMARD
SECTOR 05

Infrastructure & Construction

PPP structuring, EPC contractor diligence, and site security for active construction. Frequent integration with Pillar 03 throughout the build phase.

Focus · ICRC, FERMA, state MoWs
SECTOR 06

Technology & Digital

NITDA registration, data-localisation posture, and local talent build-out. Lower regulatory weight but acute hiring and IP-protection demands.

Focus · NITDA, NCC, NDPC
SECTOR 07

Healthcare & Pharmaceuticals

NAFDAC product registration, distribution network qualification, and clinical-site diligence. Counterparty integrity verification is decisive in this sector.

Focus · NAFDAC, NHIA, PCN
SECTOR 08

Consumer & Retail

Catchment intelligence using GeoVerify, distributor diligence, and physical-store roll-out support. Frequent need for store security under Pillar 03.

Focus · FCCPC, SON, state revenue
SECTOR 09

Public & Diplomatic Liaison

Selective work supporting foreign missions, development finance institutions, and bilateral programme administration in Nigeria.

Focus · MoFA, NPC, DFI desks
Sector posture
We do not chase every sector. Where we don’t have the bench, we tell you that on the discovery call and recommend who does. Specificity is the service.

§ 03.02 · Cross-sector infrastructure

GeoVerify™ sits underneath every sector.

Whatever the vertical, the questions are similar: who is operating on this site, can they be verified, what is the density around them. GeoVerify answers all three at the building level.

USE 01

Catchment intelligence

Consumer and retail clients use GeoVerify to map verified competitor presence and household density before greenlighting a site.

  • Verified competitor count
  • Household density estimate
  • Walk-time isochrones
USE 02

Operational substantiation

DD clients use the engineer-verified record of buildings and operators to confirm that the entity they are about to sign with actually operates from the address it declared.

  • Declared vs verified addresses
  • Photo-logged site visit
  • Operator identity validation
USE 03

Programme allocation

DFIs and bilateral programmes use the LGA-level layer to allocate grant and credit instruments against verified, geocoded beneficiary populations.

  • LGA / ward-level aggregation
  • Beneficiary geocoding
  • Allocation audit trail
