Figo AI Labs, a leading AI engineering and research company, and TBO Integrated Services Limited, a business technology and advisory firm, have announced a strategic partnership to design and deploy measurable AI solutions for large-scale enterprises across financial services, oil and gas, and the public sector in Nigeria and beyond.
Figo AI Labs is an AI engineering and research company focused on designing, building, and deploying practical AI solutions for organisations. Figo operates at the intersection of AI research, engineering, and enterprise application to help organisations solve complex business challenges.
TBO Integrated Services Limited is a technology and transformation firm helping organisations translate strategic priorities into measurable operational and business outcomes. TBO combines strategy, process analysis, technology enablement, governance, and implementation to drive sustainable value from AI and digital transformation.
The partnership aims to address a growing challenge facing organisations worldwide: moving beyond experimental AI adoption to achieving real, measurable business outcomes.
By combining Figo AI Labs’ deep AI engineering and research expertise with TBO Integrated Services’ strengths in business strategy and governance, the collaboration will help enterprises identify high-value business challenges and deploy fit-for-purpose AI solutions at scale.
“We believe the market is moving beyond the question of ‘How do we use AI?’” said Uchenna Okpagu, CEO of Figo AI Labs. “Organizations now need to see those investments translate into real outcomes. Our focus is to build and deploy enterprise AI around specific business problems, with clear measures of impact and strong governance from the start.”
The joint approach is value-led and problem-first: rather than starting with a technology, the teams will work with organizations to map strategic priorities, value streams, and operational pain points before developing AI solutions. This ensures that AI deployments are tied to tangible business value, organizational readiness, and effective risk management.
“Enterprise AI needs to be both ambitious and responsible,” said Dr. Temitope Oyeleye, CEO of TBO Integrated Services Limited. “Innovation and governance must go hand-in-hand. The right governance framework should be built into every AI deployment, so businesses can capture the benefits of AI while managing operational, regulatory, and reputational risks.”
The partnership will enable measurable improvements in performance, efficiency, and service delivery. In finance, this may involve intelligent customer operations and automation of repetitive processes. Oil and gas companies can benefit from AI-driven operational optimization and data analysis, while government and public-sector agencies can streamline administrative processes and improve citizen services.
Both companies emphasize that Africa’s digital transformation and competitiveness depend on applying the latest AI technologies to the problems that matter most. “We want to help organizations pinpoint the right problems, build effective solutions, and prove those solutions are making a difference,” Okpagu added.
