Our mission

Building the infrastructure of trust for Nigerian artisans

Nigeria has over 40 million skilled artisans. Hairdressers, tailors, makeup artists, tilers, fumigators, and dozens of other trades. Most of them find customers through word of mouth and WhatsApp groups. Most customers rely on referrals and hope for the best.

Gwani changes this. We build a verified, trustworthy marketplace that benefits both sides: making it effortless to book and reliable to earn.

“A professional neighbour who knows all the best artisans in Lagos, knowledgeable and reassuring, never corporate or stiff.”

The Gwani brand principle

What we stand for

Four things we refuse to compromise on

Identity-first verification

Every artisan passes NIN/BVN checks before their profile goes live. You always know exactly who is coming to your home or salon.

Escrow until completion

Your money stays with Gwani until you confirm the job is done. A 6-digit code ensures nothing releases without your say.

Only real reviews count

Only verified customers who completed a real booking can leave a review. Every rating is earned. None are manufactured.

Artisans always get paid

Earnings go directly to the artisan's bank account after each completed job. No chasing, no invoicing, no delays.
