Afriwok to connect skilled professionals with Nigerians

Afriwok, an innovative service marketplace, is set to launch in February 2025, with a mission to transform the way people connect with and hire service providers across Nigeria.

The platform is designed to address the challenges of sourcing reliable professionals, positioning itself as the go-to solution for connecting users with trusted local service providers.

In a statement, Afriwok said its goal is to tackle a common issue faced by many Africans: the difficulty of finding skilled and trustworthy professionals nearby.

The platform leverages technology to streamline this process, providing users with access to verified service providers across various categories, including artisans, home service professionals, and event vendors.

The Chief Executive Officer of Afriwok, Martins Okolongwu, stated, “Afriwok was born out of the need to bridge the gap between service providers and the everyday person and strategically improve the standard of life for Nigerians through empowering them with skills.”

He added, “We have created a platform that not only prioritises trust and convenience but also empowers service providers to grow their businesses sustainably.”

Okolongwu further highlighted the platform’s focus on empowering local talent and providing opportunities for artisans and entrepreneurs to thrive.

“The launch is not just inviting users—it’s calling for a collective leap towards a more efficient, convenient, and hassle-free way of navigating the service marketplace for Africa,” he said.

The Chief Operating Officer, Eric Onuh, mentioned that beyond solving customer challenges, Afriwok will serve as a growth catalyst for service providers.

The Chief Technology Officer, Ekene Ezeasor, assured users that the app is being designed to be user-friendly and easy to navigate.

He added that the platform would provide visibility, access to a broader customer base, and tools to streamline business operations.
