About RATIng

RATIng as the name implies is an online platform that enables Nigerians to rate and review companies and industries within Nigeria. The app was a personal notion of mine, which I started its conceptualization on the 31st of December, 2020.

Nigeria, one of the fastest-growing civilization in West Africa, like any other country, is facing a common issue of poor customer relations between companies and their users. RATIng sees to solve this problem by providing through the use of accumulated data, and insights into companies in Nigeria, a metric system to which they’re kept on check. Think of it more like a Yelp for Nigerian businesses (Yelp is a foreign platform that rates and reviews companies through crowd-sourced reviews)

RATIng will operate on a five-star rating system, in which local businesses in Nigeria will be rated on the performance scale of a one-to-five through crowd-sourced ratings and reviews. The app will also serve as a social networking site; this is to allow authentic ratings and reviews from real people with social profiles on the platform.
