including groceries, edible commodities and more you may want to consider
picking markets that serve you well whether it’s how accessible or affordable
the market serves we must mention that within Abuja metropolis you should at
least know these 5 Markets;
Wuse Market
The busiest
market in Abuja and the most popular market as well, the present location of
Wuse Market used to be a secondary school but that’s stale news. What’s
interesting is the fact that you can purchase any item under the sun from this
market but at slightly steeper price as the cost of renting shops is high and
the shoppers have the bear the brunt. There’s also ample parking space but the
market is very rowdy especially on weekdays.

Garki International Market
The second
most popular market in Abuja, the Garki International market located on
Akintola Boulevard in Garki 2 is slightly larger in land mass and cheaper than
Wuse market. Food stuff at this market is more affordable and clothing items
cost less as well many other consumables. Depending on your location you may
consider this market worth your while for shopping.

Life Camp Fish Market
Looking for
fish or frozen food to buy in Abuja? Life camp market should be top on your
list as they offer a wide range of fish and frozen foods for sale in addition
to being a regular market. many of the shops in this market are cold rooms for
storing frozen foods but you could also buy local food items like vegetables,
fruits, processed seasoning and more from the market.
Gate Fee: Free
Open: 6am till late evenings.
Utako Market
Utako Market
is an expensive market to patronize as food items cost slightly more here than
elsewhere. Two reasons could explain this – rent cost and distance from the
outskirts of town where these food items come from. Most traders in the market
own stalls and have to move their wares from source to the market which isn’t
cheap by the way. Hygiene may be an issue for many shoppers as refuse disposal
in the market is poor. Parking space is inadequate and there are many touts
operating around the market. In the past a lot of cars have been reported
stolen around the market area so be on your guard while shopping.
Gate Fee: Free
Open: 6am
till late evenings
Garki Model Market
The most
modern market in Abuja but one of the least patronized, this market is located
in a quieter part of Garki 2 just opposite the Garki Mall in Area 11. The
market is pretty large and occupies more space than the other markets profiled.
It also has more lock up shops but fewer stalls. Price of food items is cheap
but other consumables such as toys, clothing, processed drinks and more are competitive.
Gate Fee: N100
Open: 6am till 6pm daily
