How it works
Compare sellers by their reviews, prices and delivery time. Certified sellers have passed a Skillnaija course project in that skill.
Tell the seller what you need and pay by card, bank transfer or USSD. We hold the money.
Message the seller on your order, review the work, then confirm. Only then is the seller paid.
Have a skill? Get paid for it.
Setup takes minutes: open your shop, list in any category, verify your identity within 7 days, and get paid to your bank account. The NIN check costs ₦1,000, or upload your documents and our team reviews them free. Skillnaija's commission is 5% of each order.
Learn alongside a real practitioner
Volunteer practitioners offer short, in-person sit-ins for trade learners. Free for you. Find someone in your city working in the trade you're learning.
Become an apprentice mentor
Working in a trade? Offer short sit-ins to a learner. You'll earn a Skillnaija Mentor badge that lives on your profile — visible to employers and partners — after just 5 completed sessions.

Hire job-ready Nigerian talent
Post roles to motivated Nigerians who learn by building real, graded projects — and grow your pipeline with the community as it grows.
Hiring uses a separate employer account — not a learner account. Create one in the portal in a minute; our team approves your organisation before your first role goes live.
Project-based proof
Learners build and submit graded capstone projects — so you can judge real work, not just a CV.
Lower cost-to-hire
Post roles directly to motivated learners — no recruiter fees.
Beyond the big cities
The platform is mobile-first and open to learners anywhere in Nigeria.
Built for a stronger Nigeria
Skillnaija exists because a country can’t reskill itself one workshop at a time. We combine career-relevant learning, real projects, and direct hiring pipelines — on the web and in your pocket, even when data is tight.
Our mission
Help as many Nigerians as possible earn better incomes through real, practical skills.
How we’re different
Mobile-first. Offline-capable. Built around the realities of work and life in Nigeria.
Partnership-driven
We’re building partnerships with employers, schools, NGOs and government programmes to train and hire talent.
Build Nigeria’s workforce with us
Employers, universities, secondary schools, EdTech and training organisations, NGOs and government programmes partner with Skillnaija to train, find, and hire job-ready talent anywhere in Nigeria. Tell us what you’re looking for — our team will reach out within two business days.
