MEA | Q2 2025 6 Five Decades of Technical Consulting Mastery 50 years is a huge milestone for any business to reach. It highlights that a company is in an elite class, one where every member is the bestof-the-best in their respective field and capable of going above and beyond to serve their clients and wider society equally. Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year is Allott (Nigeria) Limited, a renowned technical consulting practice specialising in engineering and construction supervision as well as environmental services. Below, we take a deep dive into the company to explore a half-century of excellence. nitially established back in 1975, Allott (Nigeria) Limited served as the regional office of Allott and Lomax, a UK consulting engineer that dominated the market before merging with Babtie at the dawn of the millennium. What started out as merely a regional branch is today an independent company in its own right, having delivered more than 400 projects to date for clients in both the public and private sectors of Nigeria. Knowledgeable and experienced, this company delivers streamlined, cost-effective technical consulting solutions. Offering its services in the realms of marine engineering, highway and railway engineering, environmental studies, and technical research studies, Allott (Nigeria) Limited is renowned for an ability to deliver professional technical consulting at every turn. Be it feasibility studies for marine-based engineering projects or environmental impact assessments, everything the company does is executed to the highest standards, ensuring projects are successful and that the growing demand for services of this nature is met throughout Nigeria. The company is overseen by a dedicated team of owner-principals, who manage its daily operations alongside a team of equally talented office-based specialists. Each of the directors at the helm has a deep understanding of the area they specialise in, leading to a full-service approach whereby both company and the client are supported across every stage of a project. A further example of the business’ unique strengths can be found in its collaboration-first ethos, with this guaranteeing impeccable results right across the board. During its storied history so far, Allott (Nigeria) Limited has played an instrumental role in a host of exciting projects throughout its home country, with the impact of many of these being felt to this day. For example, in the marine engineering arena, the company afforded the likes of its project management and design/construction supervision prowess to the Atlas Cement Terminal at Onne Port Harcourt. Carrying out an environmental impact assessment and even supervising dredging and jetty construction, this project – which is this year celebrating its 25th anniversary – saw the team’s full talents on display. Similarly, when it comes to highway and railway projects, Allott (Nigeria) Limited has more than made its presence felt, carrying out numerous jobs for the public sector as well as some assisted by the World Bank. From the Nigerian National Railway rehabilitation project – where the company played a sub-contractor role for Roughton International UK and performed detailed condition assessments of the entire railway network – to the Benue State and Ondo State World Bank infrastructure development projects, the wealth of expertise the company possesses makes it a go-to provider for these services. Moreover, Allott (Nigeria) Limited’s environmental-based services have taken it far and wide, with the team being relied upon for environmental impact assessments, which are an essential part of the environmental management plans required for projects to be approved. Completing these assessments in the likes of ports , highways & railway projects in Nigeria and beyond . Including the transnational Kano - Maradi Railway project from Nigeria to Niger Republic and the Impact Mitigation Monitoring of the Lekki Deep Sea Port in Lagos and beyond, the team have also executed many environmental audits and impact mitigation monitoring services, as well as compliance monitoring studies for ports and terminals. Finally, the technical research studies element of the business is grounded in an enviable track record of delivering public private partnership (PPP) projects across the transaction advisory services space. These include playing an instrumental part in remodelling and developing nine railway stations throughout Nigeria, as well undertaking traffic surveys on the road to Murtala Muhammed International Airport, the Katsina Ala Bridge in Buruku, and the Guto-Bagana Bridge, and recently the Second River Niger Bridge which was completed in 2022, all to offer just a snapshot of its work in this field. Having also incorporated the Allott Free Zone Enterprise in 2017, with this entity specialising in delivering top-quality technical consultancy services to a number of local and international organisations working both onshore and offshore within the country’s free trade zones, this is a company that is clearly continuing to excel in this space. The above projects represent just some of the ways Allott (Nigeria) Limited has been setting the standard for 50 years, making it more than worthy of a feature in this issue.
