Finding a skilled worker in Nigeria has always been tough. When a pipe bursts, your generator fails, or you need a quick tailor, your first step isn’t to search online — it’s to ask your friends:
“Does anyone know a good plumber?”
For years, this word-of-mouth method has been the only way to find trusted artisans. It’s based on personal trust, but it’s also limited. A great electrician or tailor might be nearby, yet invisible if no one in your circle knows them.
That’s the problem Worker.ng is here to solve — by helping Nigerians find reliable local service providers quickly and easily, all in one place.
What Is Worker.ng?
Worker.ng is a new digital platform built to connect Nigerians with skilled artisans such as plumbers, electricians, tailors, carpenters, and more.
The goal is simple:
- Make local artisans visible online.
- Help users find trusted service providers near them.
- Support Nigeria’s informal economy through smart technology.
A Smarter Way to Find Local Services
Worker.ng understands how Nigerians live and move. Instead of using only broad areas like “Ikeja” or “Surulere,” the platform includes a “Nearest Landmark” feature — something every Nigerian can relate to.
So instead of searching for “plumber in Surulere,” you can find one “near National Stadium” or “close to Ojuelegba Under Bridge.”
This small but powerful feature makes searches faster, more accurate, and more relevant to real life.
Easy for Artisans, Free Forever
Worker.ng is designed to be simple and inclusive.
- No email or password needed: Create your profile directly from your phone.
- Direct contact: Customers can call or chat with you on WhatsApp — no middleman.
- Free forever: Listing your services costs nothing — no commission or hidden fees.
Each new profile is verified by a real person to ensure safety and authenticity. Users can also rate artisans with a 5-star review system or report suspicious profiles easily.
Lite App for Fast Access
Knowing that data and storage space can be issues for many Nigerians, Worker.ng introduced a Lite App feature.
You can add Worker.ng to your phone’s home screen — no need to download it from the app store. It opens instantly with one tap and works smoothly even on low data.
This feature makes Worker.ng easy to use for everyone, anywhere.
Empowering Nigeria’s Informal Workforce
Nigeria’s informal economy is full of talented workers — from mechanics and painters to hairdressers and tailors — but many remain unseen.
Worker.ng is helping to change that. By giving artisans a digital presence, the platform connects them to more customers, helps them build trust, and increases their income opportunities.
For users, it means finding help faster and safer. For artisans, it means getting the recognition they deserve.
Why Worker.ng Matters
Worker.ng is more than just another tech startup. It’s building a bridge between offline skill and online opportunity.
By digitizing Nigeria’s local service economy, Worker.ng is creating new ways for people to work, connect, and grow.
