Trust & Verification
Every professional on Oja has been verified.
Here's exactly what that means.
Government-issued ID confirmed
Every provider submits a valid national ID or driver's licence before they can take a single job on the platform.
Skills assessment on file
Professionals are categorised and vetted for the exact services they list. A plumber can't just claim to be an electrician.
Review-gated visibility
New providers start with limited visibility and earn their way up through verified customer reviews only. No fake five-stars.
Location-verified, neighbourhood-level
We confirm providers operate in the exact areas they list. No Abuja catfishing for a Lagos job.
Immediate suspension for misconduct
Any report of misconduct triggers an immediate review. Providers with unresolved complaints are suspended within 24 hours.

I used to get 2-3 jobs a month from referrals. Since joining Oja, I'm averaging 10 or more. The reviews make the difference.
