Wuse Market
This is the main market in Abuja and is located in Zone 5 of Wuse district. It is a general market where you can find almost anything; food stuff, fresh vegetables, meat, clothes, electronics, furniture, phones, rugs and carpets etc. Prices in Wuse market are relatively high compared to what you will get in other markets like Utako and Garki. The prices are however cheaper when compared to prices in malls and stores. One good thing about the market is that it is organized and generally clean. You will however occasionally encounter traffic when driving into the market especially in the evenings.
