In a bold move to revolutionize Nigeria’s informal economy, Habib Daniel Adetoyinbo, co-founder of DataVanta Labs Limited, is leveraging innovative technology through his groundbreaking platform, Taskgrab.

Launched alongside his partner, Taiwo Olasunkanmi, in 2024, Taskgrab has quickly grown from a simple idea into a powerful national platform that delivers not just convenience, but real economic empowerment, stronger social connections, and uplifting community impact across Nigeria.

“Our core mission is transforming informal tasks into structured opportunities,” said Adetoyinbo.

“Taskgrab goes beyond errands. It promotes financial inclusion, builds trust, and restores dignity to everyday transactions. We’re helping people believe again, in platforms, in opportunity, and most importantly, in themselves.”

Unlike many gig platforms, Taskgrab addresses Nigeria’s deep-rooted challenges of trust, underemployment, and economic fragmentation. Every Taskgrabber is carefully verified, giving users confidence when they need help with anything from grocery deliveries and home repairs to online services like content design, tutoring, or freelance projects.

“Nigeria has enormous untapped potential within its informal sector,” explained Olasunkanmi. “Taskgrab isn’t just connecting people. It’s creating a trustworthy environment where skills can turn directly into meaningful income. We’re putting power back in the hands of everyday Nigerians, students, artisans, small business owners, and hardworking individuals everywhere.”

One of the platform’s most exciting updates is its service showcase feature, which lets Taskgrabbers actively promote their expertise and services. This has turned the app into more than just a task marketplace. It has become a launchpad for micro-businesses, opening doors for young Nigerians in rural and semi-urban areas who previously had few ways to market their talents or earn consistent income.

Looking ahead, Adetoyinbo and his team are eager to push even further. By partnering with local governments, they aim to digitize informal work at a wider scale, bringing visibility and structure to countless small economic activities often left out of national planning. With plans to integrate artificial intelligence and machine learning, the platform will become even smarter and more secure, improving how tasks are matched, enhancing user experience, and protecting against fraud.

“We see technology as a tool for social empowerment,” Adetoyinbo shared. “We’re not here to build something flashy. We’re here to build something useful, something lasting. For us, success means lives improved, families supported, and communities strengthened.”

DataVanta Labs Limited is showing that when technology is grounded in local realities, it can achieve both business success and social impact. With Taskgrab, the company is setting a powerful example of how African startups can create homegrown solutions that make a real difference for millions.
