Diaspora Business and Project Oversight
Your project in Nigeria, watched over by people you can trust
Living in the UK, US or Canada and building, investing or running a business back home? We become your independent eyes on the ground, checking progress, verifying spending and reporting back with evidence.
Sound familiar?
Managing a project from abroad is hard
Money goes out, progress does not
Funds are sent for materials and labour, but the project seems to move far slower than the spending.
Photos you cannot verify
The pictures look fine, but you cannot tell when they were taken or whether they show your site.
Family stretched too thin
Relatives want to help but have their own lives, and it is awkward to question them.
No one to ask the hard questions
Contractors and managers know you are far away, and some take advantage of that.
What we oversee
Big or small, we keep watch
Building and construction
Houses, estates, renovations and commercial buildings.
Businesses
Shops, schools, clinics, transport and other businesses run on your behalf.
Property and rentals
Tenanted property, facility management and rent collection checks.
Farms and agribusiness
Poultry, fish, crop and processing ventures.
Family and community projects
Projects you fund for relatives, a church or your hometown.

Which countries do your clients live in?
Most of our diaspora clients live in the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada, but we work with Nigerians anywhere in the world. We schedule calls at times that suit your time zone.
Where in Nigeria can you oversee projects?
We are based in Lagos and can arrange oversight in other states. Tell us where your project is and we will confirm what we can offer.
Do you replace my contractor or manager?
No. We are independent of them. Our job is to give you an honest view of what is happening so you can make good decisions and hold the right people accountable.
Will you handle my money?
Our role is oversight. Any involvement in payments is agreed in writing in your engagement, and we never act outside what you have authorised.
How often will I hear from you?
You choose the rhythm when we agree the scope, usually weekly or monthly. Urgent issues are escalated straight away, whatever the schedule.
How much does it cost?
Fees depend on the type of project, its location and how often you want visits and reports. After our first conversation we send a written proposal with a clear fee.
