Ngozi Eze · Contracts
Can we award the pipeline repair contract to the Houston vendor this week?
Not yet. The Nigerian Content Plan comes first.
A contract this size needs an approved Nigerian Content Plan before award. I’ve drafted it from the tender documents for you to review.

What do we owe the host community trusts this year?
$2.4m across your two trusts, due by 31 March.
That’s 3% of last year’s operating expenditure, from the audited accounts, and it’s due within three months of year end. The calculation is ready for you to approve.

Frequently asked questions
Does Tacit know the Petroleum Industry Act and the regulations under it?
Yes. Tacit starts with a register of more than 1,600 obligations across 126 federal laws and over 40 regulators, including every NUPRC, NMDPRA and NCDMB instrument that applies to you. It also reads your own leases, licences and agreements, so its answers are about your assets, not just the law.
How does the register stay current?
Regulator websites are monitored around the clock. Two petroleum lawyers read every new source, and a new rule reaches your dashboard the same day, with its section and wording cited.
Can it handle our JV partners’ requirements?
Yes. JV, farm-out and financing agreements are read alongside the regulations, so partner approvals, notice periods and confidentiality terms show up in the same plan.
Where does our data live?
In our multi-tenant cloud, with each customer’s data isolated, or inside your own Azure or AWS. Models run on Microsoft Azure and Amazon Bedrock, where the companies that make them never see your prompts or train on them. We train only with your written opt-in.
Does it replace our regulatory team?
No. Tacit does the first pass: reading, mapping, drafting and chasing evidence. A named person on your team approves every submission.
