Though an indigenous Nigerian firm, Periscope pursue excellence in all its activities, competing with global best practices, and remaining guided by the Kaizen philosophy of continuous improvement.
On how Periscope Consulting navigates market changes amidst evolving government policies, Bayo has this to say” Periscope Consulting Limited has consistently demonstrated resilience and adaptability in navigating market changes driven by evolving government policies. Our proactive approach involves closely monitoring regulatory developments, enabling us to adjust our strategies and operations swiftly when necessary.
Diversifying our services and revenue streams, coupled with agile supply chain management, helps mitigate risks associated with policy shifts and ensures business continuity. This is further bolstered by our investment in cutting-edge technology, which enhances efficiency, compliance, and our ability to anticipate and prepare for potential disruptions.
Regular consultations with industry and regulatory experts have fortified our legal and compliance frameworks. Additionally, a strong focus on internal capacity-building through continuous training and development empowers our team to handle policy changes and regulatory complexities effectively.”
When asked how the government should address Nigeria’s economic challenges. He said, “My idea of the government’s role in addressing the nation’s economic challenges should be centred around creating an enabling environment, i.e., an enabling environment for infrastructural development, an enabling environment for ease of doing business, an enabling environment to attract international investors and tourists.
The government will require a matrix of short and long-term measures alongside soft and structural activities to drive economic development. The government must develop and communicate a clear-cut national development agenda resulting from a deep analysis of the national strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats vis-à-vis the envisioned national dream. This communication plan should be rolled out alongside reorientation programs to promote trust and patriotism.
At the national level, we need to identify emerging sectors, such as agriculture, financial services, real estate, tourism, mines, and steel, for which an orchestrated development plan/framework will be constituted. The national government should design a roadmap for developing the sectors of interest, including regulatory provisions, incentives, and responsibilities/roles for different stakeholders. Other sub-nationals should work together with the nation to provide the needed environment.
Significant investments should likewise be made in developing security and key infrastructures, such as roads, railways, transportation, and aviation, to support national growth and development. Similarly, the government—national and subnational—should galvanize local and foreign investments in the sectors of interest to promote the needed development. The ease of doing business should be made a regulatory and operational philosophy that drives the government’s position and stances on emerging matters. The government should be committed to supporting businesses.
However, it is worth mentioning that to combat these challenges as a nation, the government, the private sector, and the populace ought to collaborate on nation-building. With the government focusing on creating an enabling environment, private sector operators birthing and running world-class enterprises, and individuals demonstrating a high level of patriotism – all directed towards national growth.”
On how Periscope as a consulting firm has impacted the Nigerian economy in both the public and private sectors, Bayo Adams gave an insight by saying “Periscope Consulting has significantly impacted the Nigerian economy through transformative initiatives in both the public and private sectors. The firm’s expertise in strategy development, process improvement, finance process automation, and capacity building has produced measurable results and lasting effects.
Periscope Consulting has also been instrumental in promoting governance and economic development through several imperative good governance and reform programs, such as the National Development Planning, on the public sector, the firm actively participated in preparing the Medium-Term National Development Plan (2021–2025) and the Nigeria Agenda 2050, which provide strategic pathways for national growth.
“We have worked with national and subnational governments in designing and implementing key Public Financial Management (PFM) reforms, such as the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) – designed to ensure adherence to global best practices in public sector financial reporting and transparency; Treasury Single Accounting (TSA) – aimed at streamlining public sector accounts, increasing liquidity visibility, and reducing financial leakages.”
At the subnational level, we have provided advisory services to clients to increase fiscal transparency, accountability, and sustainability through the World Bank’s SFTAS program, enhancing good governance and fiscal responsibility across multiple states.

According to him, “This motivation is reflected in my unwavering passion for institutional strengthening, across public and private sector organizations, coupled with a relentless pursuit of excellence in service delivery. I am deeply driven by the opportunity to drive meaningful change and solve real-world challenges, particularly those that have a tangible impact on the performance and sustainability of businesses and organizations. The ability to contribute to building resilient institutions, improve governance, and create value for clients has been both fulfilling and inspiring.”
