About Urua

The errand platform built for your estate.

Urua is one app for everyday errands in Abuja and Lagos. Shop any market, send a runner on an errand, order from the stores inside your estate, and get chef-cooked meals delivered, all in a single place, all the way to your door.

No five different chats. No cash handed over at the gate. Just the market, the errand and the meal, brought home by someone you can trust to shop and deliver.

Why we built it

Getting the market home is harder than it should be.

A market run in Abuja or Lagos rarely takes an hour. It takes a morning, and the patience to deal with everything that comes with it.

    The trip and the traffic

    Driving out to the market, finding parking and sitting in traffic both ways eats hours you would rather spend elsewhere.

  • groups

    Queues and haggling

    Moving stall to stall, lining up and bargaining over every item is tiring, and easy to get wrong if you do not buy there often.

  • handshake

    Trusting who shops and delivers

    Sending someone to shop or carry money for you only works when you can see what is happening and know the right amount was paid.

What Urua does about it

One app for the whole errand.

Browse, pay, delivered.

Where we're live

Abuja and Lagos, opening estate-by-estate.

Urua is in soft launch in select estates across Abuja and Lagos, and we are opening up one estate at a time so that each new area gets runners, vendors and chefs who actually know the ground. We would rather grow carefully and keep the service honest than promise the whole country overnight. Install the app and create an account to see what's available as Urua reaches your estate.

How we work

A few things we hold to while we build Urua out, estate by estate.

  • verified_user

    Honest by default

    No fake numbers, no inflated promises. We say where we are live and what works today, and nothing more.

  • lock

    Trust you can see

    Secure in-app payment and live tracking mean you always know who is shopping, what was paid and where your order is.

  • near_me

    Rooted in the estate

    We open one estate at a time, with runners, vendors and chefs from the area, so the service fits the place it serves.
