Nigeria’s growing demand for convenience and reliable home services has created a major challenge for millions of busy professionals, families, and businesses: finding trusted artisans and service providers quickly. From plumbing emergencies and electrical repairs to cleaning, laundry, moving, and generator repairs, many Nigerians still rely heavily on word-of-mouth referrals or neighborhood recommendations to get everyday tasks done.

Now, a new technology platform, CitiTasker, is stepping in to change that narrative.

Founded by former Spleet colleagues Morenikeji Shittu and Taiwo Joseph, CitiTasker is an on-demand service marketplace designed to connect people who need tasks done with verified taskers who can complete those jobs efficiently and professionally.

The platform has officially launched in Lagos, with plans to gradually expand across other states in Nigeria.

Solving a Real Nigerian Problem

The idea behind CitiTasker was born from a personal experience.

According to co-founder Morenikeji Shittu, the inspiration came when he moved into a new apartment and needed help fixing several issues in the home. Being new to the area, he struggled to find reliable handymen and had to go from house to house asking neighbors for contacts.

That experience exposed a common challenge faced by many Nigerians — the absence of a simple and trusted platform where people can easily connect with verified service providers.

Morenikeji shared the idea with Taiwo Joseph, a software engineer and former Lead Front-End Engineer at Spleet. In 2025, the duo teamed up to build CitiTasker with the goal of making everyday services more accessible, secure, and efficient.

Built by Professionals with Strong Operational and Technology Experience

Before launching CitiTasker, Morenikeji Shittu worked as a Finance Manager at Spleet and is a chartered accountant with experience in finance and business operations.

His co-founder, Taiwo Joseph, is an experienced software engineer who previously served as Lead Front-End Engineer at Spleet, bringing strong technical expertise to the development of the platform.

Together, both founders are combining operational discipline with technology innovation to build what they describe as “Nigeria’s trusted marketplace for getting everyday tasks done.”

How CitiTasker Works

CitiTasker allows users, referred to as Posters, to post tasks they need help with and receive bids from verified taskers within minutes.

The platform currently supports a wide range of service categories including:

Cleaning
Plumbing
Electrical repairs
Moving and delivery
Painting
Gardening
Handyman services
Cooking
Laundry
AC installation
Solar installation
Generator repair
Automobile repair
And many more

The company says users typically receive their first bid in under 30 minutes, helping customers get urgent tasks resolved faster.

CitiTasker is currently available via web platform and Android application on the Google Play Store, while the iOS version for Apple App Store is expected to launch soon.

Safety and Trust at the Core

One of CitiTasker’s major selling points is its strong emphasis on trust, security, and accountability — a critical concern in Nigeria’s informal service industry.

According to the company, every tasker on the platform undergoes a verification process before being allowed to take on jobs.

Users can browse tasker profiles, compare ratings, review completed work history, and assess bids before making a hiring decision.

The platform also introduces a secure payment system powered by escrow technology. Instead of paying taskers upfront, customers’ payments are securely held until the task is completed satisfactorily.

Once the work is completed, users can release payment directly through the app and leave ratings or reviews to help future customers make informed decisions.

The platform also includes a dispute resolution system that helps mediate disagreements between users and taskers where necessary.

In addition, customers who already know a preferred artisan or service provider can use CitiTasker’s Direct Booking feature to hire them instantly for quicker task completion.

Addressing Nigeria’s Convenience Economy

The launch of CitiTasker comes at a time when Nigeria’s urban population — especially in cities like Lagos — continues to demand faster, more reliable, and tech-enabled convenience services.

With increasing work pressure, long commuting hours, and busy schedules, many professionals struggle to find time for domestic tasks and maintenance work.

CitiTasker says its mission is to help Nigerians reclaim their time by making it easier to connect with trusted professionals for everyday services.

The company believes the platform will also create more earning opportunities for skilled artisans and service providers by giving them direct access to customers online.

The Future of Everyday Services in Nigeria

As Nigeria’s digital economy continues to expand, platforms like CitiTasker are positioning themselves at the intersection of technology, convenience, and trust.

By combining verified taskers, secure payments, quick response times, and digital dispute resolution, CitiTasker aims to modernize how Nigerians access local services while improving confidence in the process.

For many Nigerians tired of unreliable referrals and the stress of searching for artisans manually, CitiTasker may represent a timely solution for the future of getting things done.

MrBrownJay1:
anything before 6 months is a no no IMHO.... show the employer your worth and then, after due time, ask for a raise. 1 month is too early and makes you look greedy and unreliable.

Appreciate your advise.

healthserve:
Its been years since i left somewhere, they're still hunting my life to have me back ;DJust few months of seeing what i could do. Give them time, show your talents, inputs, brinv new systems focus on developing the areana. Make the organization depend on you by brining your own ideas ( this has to be subtle, to them they see you performing,but the reality is to make them depend on you ) then pull the switch. Make it by the third month. Do not just negotiate. A raise negotiate the long run

Thanks and I really appreciate.

healthserve:
Too early. Do not

Make them depend on you first by seeing your contributions. Then you can re-negotiate based on input not on expectations and self appraisals


Come back and testify after applying this truth

Thanks for your advice.

Hi guys,

I really need you advice on this. It's almost a month now that I start my new employment with a real estate firm in Lagos. I was reading random articles on a tech website, then I bumped into an article on this company.

I visited the company's website and I felt like it's the kind of company I would like to work with, so I sent them an email with my CV attached requesting to join their team. Prior to this time, I work with a construction company as Internal Auditor and I was on 100k monthly salary. I got tired of working with the company because they delay in paying salary and will usually pay half salary to staff at the end of the month. At a point, the staff salary was slashed by 25% due to low cash inflow.

Fast forward to the new job, I got a reply inviting me for a chat at the office. Before I went to the office for the chat, I did some research on the company and I found out that it's a startup company less than 2yrs old and with staff strength less than 10. I felt like they weren't going to offer much for salary.

I was at the office for the chat as scheduled. I had chats with the COO and Business Development Manager. After a short discuss on my education qualification and work experience, I was asked of my current salary and expected salary. I told them that I earn 100k currently and expect 200k from them, they never negotiated. I didn't want to go too high because I new it's a startup company and the more reason being that I was desperate to change job at this time.
I received employment for the position of a Finance Manager three days after the chat with a net salary of 200k and was expected to resume in February, 2020.

After I joined the company, I found out that the managers in the company earn as much as 600k and the least earn 400k. I was devastated. I'm the Finance Manager and on a salary of 200k. I'm currently on 6month probation as stated in the employment letter and I've barely spend a month here. All the managers are less than a year old in the company, have same level of qualification with me and lesser years of experience.

I'm thinking of request for salary review and at same time thinking maybe it's too early to make such request.

I don't know how I should go about this. Kindly advise.

Were you finally given an admission into UBD?

Application status is still showing processing. I doubt if the admission will be offered.

List of ten countries with relatively easy pathways to permanent residency.

1. Canada
Canada, eh? It’s one of the friendliest countries on earth. And while you might not think of Canada as beachy, it actually has the longest coastline in the world at 202,080 km. Canada has compassionately opened its borders to refugees from war-torn nations, but if you are not in fear for your life, you will have to show some professional skills.
Take a look at Canada’s current industry shortages, and if you match up with any, you can take advantage of an express entry program for super-fast approval. It’s easy to apply – just complete an online quiz that tallies points for qualifications like education level, industries you have experience in, and whether or not you speak French. If you have family in Canada or studied there at any point, you’re ahead of the game.

2. Mexico
If you’re fussy about the deadly drug trade, you may be tempted to skip over Mexico as an option. But there are still places in Mexico that are safe, and not only that, they are full of clean beaches, mountain views, cute historic towns, and upscale urban delights. Plus, it is the country that introduced chocolate, chilies, and corn to the world.
Get started in Mexico quickly with an FMM visa, available at any airport or border location for the staggering fee of $21. When your visa expires in six months, you can renew it again, and again, and again. There’s no limit. Unfortunately, you can’t work on an FMM visa, but you can upgrade to a temporary residency visa that does allow work for only a few bucks more. You may need to leave the country temporarily to apply for one, though.

3. Austria
Austria is a gorgeous little country that offers plenty of mountain fun in the form of the snow-capped Alps, which actually cover 62% of the country. Its location is ideal for exploration of many other European countries, as well. The lifestyle in Austria is called “perpetual resort,” which sounds pretty fine to us.
The downside of Austria is that the cost of living is pretty high. However, the country offers 10 different types of residence permit, so you are likely to qualify if you can afford it. You will need to apply for residency in Austria from your home country, unless you are a resident of the United States or a European Union country. In that case, you are eligible for a D-visa that grants residence in Austria for up to six months before you apply for a residence permit.

4. Belgium
If you love the idea of enjoying limitless beer and chocolate in a cozy little country dotted with gorgeous architecture and breathtaking natural beauty, consider Belgium. It is also a very progressive country; it was the second in the world to legalize gay marriage (after the Netherlands).
You will need a job to be granted a permanent residency visa, but you can apply from home. Once you land a job, you only need to hold onto it for two weeks before becoming eligible for a residency permit. That’s not an offer to stay forever just yet, but as long as you keep working, you are moving toward it.

5. Ecuador
Ecuador has virtually unmatched natural beauty in the form of mountain peaks, volcanoes, beaches, and islands. It is named after the equator, which runs through it, and is the only country in the world named after a geographical feature. The cost of living in Ecuador is very low, and if you’re American, you’ll be glad to know that the US dollar is the official currency.
The easiest way to get permanent residence in Ecuador is called a pensioner’s visa. Though designed for retirees, there aren’t actually any age requirements to get one. You just need to prove that you will receive $800 per month for the length of your stay, no matter how long that is. It’s kind of mind-boggling to think about living comfortably on that amount of money.

6. Nicaragua
Forget what you think you know about Nicaragua and see that it is a stunningly beautiful country with two pristine coastlines and passionate, caring people. It’s also great for stargazers – 86 out of 88 constellations in the night sky can be seen clearly in Nicaragua.
If you’re intrigued, Nicaragua offers a retirement program similar to Ecuador’s, except you only need to show an income of $600 a month. The program is meant for people at least 45 years old, but this requirement is often waived if you have more than the base income.
And guess what? You don’t actually need to be retired to qualify. The government of Nicaragua has a lot of flexibility in what it calls work. For example, you could own a restaurant or small hotel and still be classified as retired. You can also continue to freelance for an overseas company and legitimately get the retirement visa.

7. Belize
If you want to spend your days on the beach, definitely take a look at Belize. The average temperature is 84F (29C), so you can have as many beach days as you want. Located between Mexico and Guatemala, Belize is a small country with a population that harmoniously represents no less than eight different cultures. It is also an English-speaking country with a very low cost of living.
Getting to Belize is pretty easy. You can enter on a 30-day visitor visa and simply keep renewing it every month until you’ve lived there for 50 weeks. At that point, a $1,000 fee and a few bureaucratic hurdles will get you permanent residency.
If that sounds like a doable plan of attack, you may want to engage a lawyer in Belize right away to keep you informed of any fine print. Some districts do require you to leave the country for two weeks every six months, which resets the clock on the 50-week requirement. And if you need to work while you await permanent residency, you could use some help to secure a work permit.

8. Costa Rica
Costa Rica is very attractive to migration-seekers due to its peaceful and easy-going residents. Pacifists will appreciate the fact that it doesn’t even have a national army. But don’t forget the 801 miles of stunning coastline and world-class healthcare, too. Nature lovers will appreciate the 52 species of hummingbirds.
The cost of living in Costa Rica is not too high. Couples will need about $2,500 per month to live comfortably. If you’re looking to retire, Costa Rica has a retiree program that you’ll qualify for if you can show $1,000 per month in income. Most folks will need a job in order to achieve permanent residency, but if you have skills that Costa Rica needs, things as simple as teaching English or entertaining tourists, the dream could be in reach.

9. Paraguay
If you dream of disappearing off the face of the earth, Paraguay might be the place for you. Not many people know anything about it, despite being bordered by Argentina and Brazil. Chances are high that Paraguayans know about you, though. The country has a literacy rate higher than the United States. It’s a beautiful place with friendly people, vast scenic vistas, and low cost of living.
Since it is so obscure, the demand for immigration is low and the bar for acceptance is, too. You will be required to deposit an amount of money into a Paraguayan bank that equals roughly 35x the monthly minimum wage. It sounds like a lot, but it comes out to only about $4,500-$5,500 USD. That’s all it takes to live in Paraguay indefinitely, and after three years you can apply for citizenship.

10. Panama
Panama is an independent nation in Central America with a beachy landscape and a lot of English speakers. (The US dollar is its currency.) Some of the best coffee in the world is grown there. It’s a country that is considered safe and well developed, which also makes it pretty attractive to retirees.
Panama’s retiree visa requires a monthly income of $1,000. If you’re not old enough to retire, a $5,000 deposit in a Panamanian bank gets you in the door for permanent residency. If you happen to hail from one of 50 countries that are friendly to Panama, a few of which are the US, UK, Canada, New Zealand, and Austria, you are eligible for a Friendly Nations visa. However, you will eventually need a job to become a citizen.
Ready to go? The bar for permanent residency in any of these countries is set pretty low, so with some planning and maybe a bit of saving, you could be drinking beer in Belgium or sipping cocktails on the beach in Costa Rica before you know it.
