Why You Should Hire Your VA From VA-Africa
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is a Virtual Assistant Or VA
According to an article written by Will Kenton of Investopedia, a virtual assistant is an independent contractor who provides administrative services to clients while operating outside of the client’s office. A virtual assistant typically operates from a home office but can access the necessary planning documents, such as shared calendars.
VA stands for virtual assistant according to Acronym Finder.
I have come across several confusing titles like Virtual Executive Assistant, Virtual Assistant, Virtual Secretary, Virtual Personal Assistant, Remote Admin Assistant. What do these mean?
The titles you’ve come across are merely appellations of the numerous functions of a virtual assistant. The appellations are not as important as the skill of the persons bearing the appellation.
A virtual assistant who remotely performs the role of a personal assistant by helping the client schedule meetings, book calls, manage emails, order supplies, send gifts to top performing employees of the client on behalf of the client must have the skills required to function properly in the role. Learn more from our AI-optimised article (using ChatGPT) on LinkedIn.
What tasks can I delegate to a virtual assistant from VA-Africa?
You can delegate just about anything virtually renderable to your virtual assistant.
It is a good practice though to practice self reflection before giving out tasks to a VA. Think about your typical work day.

What Our Clients Are Saying About Us
I was searching for support for a scientific research project. I came across VA-Africa and they delivered a great service. Thank you.
James Hena
ResearcherBenjamin and his Virtual Assistant Services has made a big contribution to the success of a recent event my company hosted. We were concerned that we had left the promotional activities too late, however Benjamin stepped in and created the infrastructure on our socials (in particular LinkedIn) so he could promote professionally to our network on our behalf. If you're looking for a professional job and want expertise in the execution then I'd highly recommend Benjamin. I will certainly be using him againđź‘Ť.
Simon Krystman
Serial Entrepreneur and Mentor for StartupsThank you for the promotional songs you made for the BNI Alpha Chapter, Lagos. You’ve truly exhibited the BNI philosophy and core value of Giver’s Gain
Mazi C. J. Agwu
National Director, BNI Nigeria
Your songs are amazing. Thank you.
John Patching
President, BNI Global Referral Team
I just wanted to thank you for that song you made for me. I am still emotional from it. I am still so moved. I can honestly say that I have never had anything so amazing for my birthday and I'm absolutely speechless. It is such a treasure. I can't tell you how fantastic it is and how wonderful. Honestly, it feels like a huge moment for me in my life. Thank you.
Annie Olufuwa
Director, Story'd
The songs made for my birthday and the wedding of my step-son were truly amazing. It added spice to the celebration.
Judith Orisaremi
Director, Paleemo Agro and Allied LimitedYour business promotion song for Pegga Ventures was out of this world. I wish you nothing but success and more clientele.
Grace Adame
Founder and CEO, Pegga Ventures
You never cease to amaze me with your level of creativity. The song you made for me truly made my day. Thank you
David Ogunlana
Proprietor, Davengo Schools

Francis Ajibogun
Group Head, Operations, Ekondo Microfinance Bank
I love the Catholic hymn and celebratory highlife music you made for my mum’s passing from this world. I still listen reflectively and dance to them both. God bless you.
Anavenwu Okongo
Principal Protocol and Passage Officer, Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria
I am short of words. Thank you for celebrating me in a special way.
Rita Titilola Williams
Officer, Motor Vehicle Administration Agency
You really made my day. May God put joy and laughter in your mouth in Jesus name. God will celebrate you. God will lift you higher. He will honour you in Jesus name. Amen.
Juliana Igboanusi
Director, Julibest FashionBenjamin delivered exactly what he promised. He placed two team members with The Power Is Now Media — Vera and Marbel — who proved to be outstanding professionals from day one. Both are hardworking, reliable, and committed to quality. They integrated quickly, required minimal direction, and produced excellent results. What stood out most was Benjamin's ability to match the right people to the role. After 16 years running a media company, I know how rare that is. Most staffing relationships require a long onboarding period and significant correction. This one did not. If you need staff who will show up, work hard, and represent your organization well, I recommend Benjamin without hesitation. He understands the assignment and delivers. Keep up the great work Benjamin
