What Problem Are We Solving?

Finding anything
you can trust
is harder than it
should be.

Across Nigeria's cities and towns, people waste hours looking for places that have moved, closed, or were never what they claimed to be. Getting anywhere, a hospital, a government office, even a hotel requires more trust than any directory has ever offered. Until now.

—

A visitor arrives in Enugu, looking for a trusted clinic

She searches online and finds three options. One number is disconnected. One address leads nowhere. The third is now a supermarket. She calls a stranger for directions instead.

—

A family planning a wedding needs a reliable event centre

They message 12 venues on social media. Four never reply. Three have wrong pricing. Two are booked. They make a decision without ever seeing the space and regret it.

—

A professional needs to visit a government ministry in Abuja

The official website was last updated in 2019. The address has changed twice. He spends an entire morning driving to the wrong building twice before finding the right one.

—

A diaspora Nigerian is visiting home for the first time in years

Everything has changed. Streets he memorised no longer match. New estates have appeared. Old landmarks are gone. He feels like a stranger in his own city.

—

A student newly arrived in Awka needs healthcare

She doesn't know any hospitals near campus. The recommendations she finds online are outdated. She eventually takes a motorcycle to a facility that turns out to be private and expensive.

—

A business owner wants customers to find her shop

She has no website, no Google Maps listing, no way for new customers to find her even though she's been trading in the same location for nine years. She relies on word of mouth alone.

Whoever you are.
Wherever you're going.

Local Resident
Ngozi, 34
Enugu State

"I've lived here my whole life. Fainda still shows me places I never knew existed."

Ngozi manages a household and works full-time. She doesn't have time to drive across Enugu to find out a pharmacy has closed. She opens Fainda, searches what she needs, and trusts what she finds. Businesses near her that she never knew about. Services that save her hours every week.

Diaspora Nigerian
Emeka, 42
Based in London: visiting Abuja

"I was planning everything from London. Fainda made me feel like I'd never left."

Emeka hadn't been home in four years. His parents needed hospital appointments. His family needed a venue for his sister's wedding. He found everything on Fainda before he even boarded the plane and every listing was exactly right when he arrived.

Visitor & Tourist
Kofi, 28
Accra, visiting Lagos

"I didn't want to be that tourist asking strangers for directions. Fainda meant I never had to."

Kofi visited Lagos for a conference and stayed on for the weekend. He used Fainda to find a hotel in his price range, three restaurants that locals actually recommend, and the exact location of a government office he needed for documentation. First time in Lagos. Zero wasted journeys.

Professional
Amaka, 31
Consultant, travels across Nigeria

"I'm in a different city every two weeks. Fainda is the first thing I open when I land."

Amaka works with clients across Abuja, Port Harcourt, Ibadan, and Kano. Every city is different. Every engagement requires local knowledge she doesn't have. Fainda gives her the confidence of a local reliable places, accurate directions, verified information wherever her work takes her.

Government & Public Institutions

The places that matter most are the hardest to find. We fixed that.

Federal Institutions

Ministries, Departments & Agencies

Every federal ministry, department, and parastatal verified addresses, confirmed operating hours, direct contact details. No more wrong buildings.

Healthcare

Public Hospitals & Primary Health Centres

Government hospitals, specialist centres, and primary health facilities across all 36 states. Verified locations. Confirmed emergency contacts.

Education

Federal & State Schools, Universities

Federal Government Colleges, polytechnics, universities, and state schools accurately mapped and verified for students, parents, and administrators.

Justice & Security

Courts, Police Stations & Emergency Services

High courts, magistrate courts, police stations, and fire services. The institutions people need most urgently, now reliably findable.

Finance & Revenue

FIRS, State Revenue Services & Banks

Tax offices, revenue service branches, and government banking facilities verified addresses so compliance doesn't require a day of wasted travel.

Social Services

Community Centres & Public Infrastructure

Libraries, community centres, public utilities, and social welfare offices. The local infrastructure that every community relies on.

"Most platforms treat public services as an afterthought. Fainda treats them as infrastructure. Because that is exactly what they are."

Nigeria's public institutions serve hundreds of millions of people. Yet finding them has always depended on word of mouth, outdated websites, and good fortune. Fainda changes this not just for individuals, but for the functioning of everyday civic life across the country. When people can find public services reliably, they use them more effectively. That matters.
