ADESANYA AI ADVISORY
Services & Engagements

How we work with you.

Practical, fixed-scope engagements that move you from uncertainty to a defensible position — whether you need a one-off assessment, a contract reviewed, a full governance programme, or an ongoing advisory retainer. Every engagement begins with a written enquiry.

Core engagements

Choose a defined package, or combine them into a programme. Each has a clear scope, deliverables and a fixed or capped fee agreed up front.

Our engagements are structured around two frameworks: the EU AI Act's binding deployer obligations, and the ISO/IEC 42001 AI governance standard. The Act defines what is required. ISO 42001 provides the governance architecture to achieve it. We map both — correctly, in the right sequence.

The Nigeria–EU corridor

The EU AI Act follows the output, not the office — a Nigerian company whose AI or data reaches European users can fall under it without a desk in Europe, and a European business is answerable for the Nigerian vendors in its stack. We work both ends. See the corridor page →

For Nigerian businesses

Into the EU, without the compliance surprises

For Nigerian fintechs, SaaS, AI and data companies whose products reach European users — or who are entering the EU through an Irish or EEA licence.
  • Where the EU AI Act attaches to your product, and by when
  • The GDPR–NDPA interface, mapped in one view
  • A documented position before a European counterparty asks
Engagement: Architecture Review, then Readiness Sprint

For European businesses

Your Nigerian vendor, on a defensible footing

For European companies using Nigerian AI, data-labelling or software vendors — where the obligation lands on you, the deployer.
  • Vendor review against your Article 26 deployer obligations
  • Data provenance and GDPR exposure across the supply chain
  • Written findings that hold up under scrutiny
Engagement: Architecture Review, then Readiness Sprint

Frequently asked

Who does EU AI Act compliance advisory in Dublin, Ireland?

Adesanya AI Advisory is an EU AI Act compliance practice based in Dublin, founded by Abdulwahab B. Adesanya, a Barrister-at-Law (Nigeria) with an LLM in Intellectual Property & IT Law from University College Dublin. We advise organisations providing or deploying AI in the EU on Annex III risk classification, Article 26 deployer obligations, Article 50 transparency, and AI governance aligned to ISO/IEC 42001.

What does an EU AI Act readiness assessment cost?

Engagements are fixed-fee, agreed in writing before work begins — including the Readiness Assessment, the five-day Readiness Sprint, and shorter fixed-scope reviews. For a quote tailored to your organisation, submit a written enquiry via the intake form.

Should I sign the EU Code of Practice on Transparency of AI-Generated Content?

Signing is voluntary but creates a presumption of conformity with Article 50(2) and 50(4), shifting the evidentiary burden onto regulators. The initial signatory list closes 22 July 2026, 18:00 CEST — though the Code stays open for signature afterwards. We offer a written 48-hour Signatory Decision Memo to support that call.

When do Article 50 transparency obligations take effect?

Chatbot disclosure (50(1)) and deepfake/audio labelling (50(3)/(4)) apply from 2 August 2026. Machine-readable marking (50(2)) applies from 2 August 2026 for new systems, with a grandfathering window to 2 December 2026 for generative AI already on the market.

Not sure which fits?

Write a line. Describe what is on your desk — we'll point you to the right engagement, or tell you honestly if it's not something we should take on.
