About NaijaArtisans

NaijaArtisans is a service marketplace that connects skilled Nigerian artisans — plumbers, electricians, tailors, caterers, mechanics and more — with customers who need their services. Inspired by Turkey's Armut and the global Thumbtack/TaskRabbit model, it's tailored for the Nigerian market.

The problem

Finding a trustworthy artisan in Nigeria usually means relying on word-of-mouth. NaijaArtisans makes it easy to discover skilled hands nearby, compare quotes, and hire with confidence — while giving artisans a place to grow their business online.

How it works

Customers search by category and city or post a job for free. Artisans list their services and send quotes on open jobs. After the work is done, customers leave a rating and review.
