How to choose safely

    • Adesiyan O. ★★★★ The market has a modern appearance indeed with well-maintained landscaping and a reasonably clean environment. However, navigating the complex can be challenging, as the shop numbers are not so easy to locate, often requiring you to walk around before finding your destination.

    • MARISA ★★★★★ The market used to be very lovely, but now that they have decided to build shops on the parking space, it’s not easy to find a place to park a car.
    • IBN R. ★★★★★ Have only been here twice. And I only went to the Obasanjo block, if you're looking for anything tailoring, this is the place to find it. I've never seen this many tailors and vendors that cater to tailors in one place before. The market itself, is very clean and quite organized, honestly, they also have, what I'd consider, sufficient parking space. I'd like to visit here more often.
