Overview
Naija.Events provides celebrants and event organizers with a dedicated subdomain-based website to manage and showcase their event online.

Each website is created under a subdomain (e.g., dayowedsbiola.naija.events) and can be launched in under 48 hours after submitting a request. The service is designed to empower Nigerians to promote events beautifully, especially for weddings, burials, birthdays, religious milestones, and corporate functions.
