The system Nigerian projects have been missing.
Not accounting software. Not a scheduling tool. The platform that answers who authorized this spend, and whether the regulator has been told.
How Nigerian capital projects are managed today.
SAP posts the financial entries. P6 manages the schedule. Excel manages everything else. Email routes the AFE. None of them speak to each other. Cost engineers spend most of their time moving data between systems, chasing approvals over email, and building reports that are out of date by the time they are read.
The Authorization for Expenditure is one of the most consequential documents in a project's financial life. In most Nigerian operations today, it is approved via a Word document that arrived by email. No audit trail. No version control. No system of record. Auditors ask for it. Nobody can produce the full chain.
Built from scratch for Nigerian ground.
Not adapted from a Western product with local features bolted on — Nigerian regulations, market rates and approval structures, at the centre.

Six approval levels. DOA-based thresholds per level. Emergency AFE fast-track (3 levels). Supplementary AFE when ceiling is breached. Auto-escalation when amount exceeds threshold. Every action timestamped and named. The MD approves inside the system — not by forwarded email.
CPI, SPI, EAC, ETC, VAC, CV, SV, TCPI. S-curve showing PV, AC, EV and EAC forecast line. WBS-level breakdown — CPI per work package. PM enters physical progress percentage monthly — ten minutes of input. Everything else calculated automatically.
Auto-generated submission package on MD approval for AFEs above the NUPRC threshold. Package includes: approved AFE, cost breakdown, approval trail, OML licence, scope document. 30-day filing deadline clock. Filing status and reference number recorded. Regulatory team downloads and files in minutes.
Built for the organisations that build Nigeria.

Fifth Kilometer is available for paid pilot engagements. We work directly with your project team against a live project. The pilot demonstrates what financial intelligence looks like when the platform was built for the work you actually do — not adapted from somewhere else.
We respond to all serious enquiries within one business day. Pilot engagements begin within two to three weeks of initial conversation. We work against a live project — not a demo environment.
