Legal name: Uniilo Technologies Limited
Our mission
To make campus life effortless by helping students find accommodation, access everyday essentials, connect with people, and navigate university life through one convenient, student-centered platform.
University life is made up of ordinary decisions that carry unusual weight: where to live, what to buy, whom to trust, and who to ask for help. Students often make those decisions with incomplete information, limited money, and very little room for a costly mistake.
Our vision
To pioneer a global student-life platform that transforms how students live, connect, access opportunities, and experience campus life, making university life easier, more connected, and more rewarding for students everywhere.
The need starts with a room. It does not end there. Once a student has somewhere to live, they still need things to put in it, people to share it with, and a way to stay connected to the campus they now belong to.
One platform. More possibilities for student life.
- Housing (Live) — Helping students discover and explore accommodation around their universities, compare available options, and access useful property information. Housing
- Split Rent (Live) — Helping students explore shared accommodation opportunities, find potential housemates, and coordinate student-to-student housing arrangements. Split Rent
- Shop (Live — growing campus by campus) — Helping students discover products and services relevant to campus life, from textbooks and electronics to furniture and other everyday essentials. Shop
- Connect (In development) — Creating a student-centered communication experience where students can meet people, build relationships, participate in communities, and communicate more easily. Connect
The values behind Uniilo
- Student First — We build around the real needs and experiences of students.
- Trust — We work to make information and interactions more reliable and transparent.
- Simplicity — Technology should reduce complexity, not create more of it.
- Connection — University life becomes more meaningful when people can find and support one another.

- Innovation — We continually explore better ways to improve the student experience.

How verification works
Verification is the centre of what we promise, so it is worth saying exactly what it means. A room is published on Uniilo only after its property has been checked in four areas: the property exists, the person advertising it can offer it, the details and the price are true, and it is available with a date set to check again. We record who made each check, when, and when it is due again, so 'when was this room last checked' has an answer. Rooms published before this standard existed do not carry a verified badge until they have been re-checked, and a room that has not been checked is never shown with one.
- The property exists — We confirm the physical location, and the photographs are of the actual place — not a stock image or a different house.
- The person can offer it — We check who is advertising the space and whether they are the owner or an authorised representative.
- The details and the price are true — Rent, required fees, room type, facilities and availability are confirmed before the listing goes live.
- It stays current — Listings are reviewed on a schedule, and a room that has already been taken is marked unavailable instead of staying up to attract enquiries.
Verification is based on documented checks made before publication. It does not guarantee a landlord's future conduct, and it is not a claim that a room is safe or affordable — those are separate questions with their own evidence. Always review the listing terms and confirm availability before paying.

- Is Uniilo available outside Nigeria?

What Uniilo does not claim

- Connect is in development. It is not a complete social network.
- Uniilo does not publish room, student or booking counts on this page, because they change daily. Search shows what is available right now.
