About us

Call us an online real estate platform, and you will be right. Although we neither lists houses nor parcels of land for sale, myPadi Networks Technology Limited provides indispensable real estate services for Nigerian universities and polytechnics primarily via our website - myPadi.ng (formerly HostelsVilla and Studacom.ng).

myPadi.ng focuses specifically on students’ off-campus accommodation, providing the critical information about available off-campus accommodation for students affected by dearth of on-campus accommodation, thereby saving students the valuable time and energy that would have been dissipated searching for a place to live.

Launched in August, 2016, we have listed hundreds hostels spread across several higher institutions effectively meeting the accommodation needs of students in these tertiary institutions.

myPadi.ng also has a vital feature that connects students who have already secured accommodation and are looking for roommates.

We’ve gotten recognition and features on media brands such as Channels TV, Vanguard Newspaper, Techpoint.ng, et al.

All of this has gradually made us become the go to guys that connect students with safe and affordable accommodations off-campus across several Nigerian schools.
