Building Nigeria's Most Trusted Task Platform

In Nigeria, finding reliable help for everyday tasks has always been harder than it needs to be. You rely on word-of-mouth referrals that fall through, deal with people who don't show up, or simply handle everything yourself, burning time and energy that could go toward things that matter more.

Meanwhile, millions of skilled, hardworking Nigerians are looking for flexible income opportunities. The talent exists. The demand exists. The missing piece was a reliable way to connect them, quickly, safely, and without friction.

We founded Swiftgigs on the idea that the best technology for Nigeria is technology people already use. Over 90% of Nigerians with smartphones use WhatsApp every day. So we built entirely around it, no app to download, no complicated registration, no learning curve.

We have completed a closed beta with 20 testers, running the full request, match, and escrow flow end to end. Their feedback shaped the product directly: the strongest ask was tougher identity checks, so NIN verification is going into worker onboarding before we open publicly. Our waitlist is live and we are onboarding our first workers now.
