§ About us
Built Inside the Function
A principal-led governance, risk and compliance practice for financial institutions and capital market operators.
§ Who we are
Operated It, Then Advised on It
Recholam Consult Limited advises and trains financial institutions and capital market operators in Nigeria and West Africa on governance, risk management, AML/CFT/CPF and regulatory compliance.
The practice is led by Oluwasegun Ilesanmi, who spent sixteen years leading risk, compliance and governance across financial services, infrastructure and consulting in the UK and Nigeria. That includes enterprise risk leadership inside a UK group that owns one of the country’s largest airports, runs a light rail network and holds commercial property, and risk and compliance leadership inside Nigerian capital market firms.
Enterprise risk and governance advisory is also offered to infrastructure and real-asset owners in aviation, transport and commercial property, and to selected public-sector clients.

§ Behind the name
Room to Grow, and the Knowledge to Use It
Recholam is drawn from two Hebrew roots. Rechovot means “broad places”: room to flourish. Lamed, the letter that gives us lamad, to learn and to teach, stands for learning and guidance.
That is how we see compliance. It is not a wall around a business. It marks out the room a firm is licensed to grow into (its registered functions, its risk appetite, its obligations) and builds the knowledge inside the firm to use that room with confidence.
