## About the product

NiYA Gigs is a government-backed **digital work and freelancing platform** for Nigerian youth freelancers and organisations that want to hire them for short-term gigs and project-based work.

Key capabilities include:
- A **two-sided marketplace** where users can register as a **freelancer** to browse and apply for work, or as a **client** to post gigs for individuals and organisations.
- **Gig listings with structured details** such as work description, budget, and timeline, so freelancers can assess fit before applying.
- **Escrow-based payments** that hold funds until the client approves completed work, helping protect both clients and freelancers.
- **Freelancer profiles** (for example photo, bio, skills, and experience) and **browse and filtering tools** to find gigs by category, budget, or timeline.

Available on **Web** and **Android**.

Built for **Nigerian youth freelancers** and **public or private sector clients** looking to engage Nigerian talent for short-term briefs.

It is notable in Nigeria’s digital economy because it sits within the **Nigerian Youth Academy (NiYA)** ecosystem under the **Federal Ministry of Youth Development**, and it launched as a nationally coordinated gateway for youth participation in the gig economy. Registration is stated as free for freelancers; client fees or commissions are not clearly specified.
