About Geomatix

Geospatial roots. A full digital transformation practice.

Geomatix Innovative Systems Limited is an Abuja-based technology firm that designs, builds and operates digital systems for government, private-sector and development programme clients. Our roots are in geospatial technology: mapping land, farms and businesses so that organisations can see what they manage.

Our story

Over time, that foundation has grown into a full digital transformation practice: land administration, presidential performance management, agricultural subsidy platforms, office automation and skills training.

We design our systems for the conditions our clients actually work in, including limited connectivity and large field teams.

Every engagement includes training for the client’s staff and a full handover of source code, applications, documentation and system credentials, so the client can run and extend the system independently.

What makes us different

Five things that set Geomatix apart.

  1. 01Proven at the centre of governmentWe delivered the performance-management and citizen-tracker platform for the Central Results Delivery Coordination Unit in the Presidency.
  2. 02Built for Nigerian conditionsOffline-first mobile capture, intranet processing for low-connectivity sites, and devices field teams actually use.
  3. 03Verified field dataParticipatory mapping, town halls and public display of records to resolve disputes before data goes live.
  4. 04Full handoverCapacity building and structured transfer of source code and systems to in-house teams.
  5. 05Licensed and accountableNITDA-licensed IT service provider; contracts awarded through ministerial and parastatal tenders boards. The NITDA list (opens in a new tab).

Photograph to commission.

Islam is a technology consultant with more than 25 years of experience delivering GIS, land administration, agri-tech and public-sector digital systems for governments and development partners including the World Bank, DFID/FCDO, the African Development Bank and GIZ.

He led delivery of the Presidency’s national performance-management platform for the Central Results Delivery Coordination Unit, a programme supported by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office within a results-delivery ecosystem that includes the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change.

From 2014 to 2017 he managed ICT for DFID’s GEMS3 Lands Project across northern Nigeria, introducing open-source software, OCR and barcode workflows into systematic land titling. Earlier, he was a core developer on Nigeria’s first integrated state tax system, built a GPS vehicle-tracking start-up, and delivered systems in Malaysia while completing his MSc.

He combines hands-on engineering (PostGIS, QGIS, web mapping, drones and open-source stacks) with programme leadership across multi-state teams, and is now extending the practice into agentic AI for small businesses on local language-model stacks.
