Regulatory Landscape

The frameworks FCA navigates
so you do not have to

Nigeria's regulatory environment is not hostile to business. It is complex. Complexity rewards those who prepare. FCA exists precisely at this intersection: turning regulatory complexity into structured compliance that protects and positions simultaneously.

Discuss your compliance gap
Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023
NDPA mandates data protection compliance for all organisations processing personal data of Nigerian residents. Penalties reach 2% of annual gross revenue or 10 million naira, whichever is higher.
CBN AML/CFT Regulations
DNFBPs are required to register with SCUML, implement risk-based AML programmes, and file Suspicious Transaction Reports. Non-compliance triggers sanctions, licence revocation, and personal liability for directors.
Nigerian Content Development Act
NCDMB mandates Nigerian content in upstream petroleum operations. Local content plans are a licence condition. Non-compliance disqualifies companies from contracts, awards, and regulatory renewals.
Petroleum Industry Act 2021
PIA restructures the entire upstream, midstream, and downstream petroleum sector. NUPRC and NMDPRA replace previous regulatory bodies. Operators and service companies face entirely new compliance architectures.
How We Work

From exposure to protection
in four defined stages

01 / Diagnose
Regulatory exposure audit
We identify every compliance gap, pending obligation, and structural vulnerability before regulators or counterparties do. No surprises after engagement begins.
02 / Structure
Framework design and documentation
We build the compliance infrastructure: policies, procedures, registers, and filing-ready documentation designed to the exact standard regulators require and investors expect.
03 / Implement
Deployment and staff alignment
We embed the framework inside your operations. Training, board briefings, and system integration that makes compliance a function, not a filing exercise.
04 / Maintain
Ongoing advisory and review
Regulatory environments evolve. FCA maintains your compliance posture as frameworks change, your operations scale, and new obligations emerge.
"

Compliance is not the cost of doing business in Nigeria. It is the price of being taken seriously by the counterparties that matter.
