ebimo E. ★★★★★ : I got all my cultural Costumes and event decorations nicely done. Thank you ebimo Crafts and Events 👍
Peter C. ★★★★★ : It is barely a market. I guess you can spot one or two wholesale merchants for rice in there but nothing that really qualifies this to be any more than a local tuck shop. I went in with high expectations. Came out with...well...nothing.

Olusegun A. ★★★★★ : Gudu market is a centralized marketplace where you can get building materials, some car parts and accessories. The market is easily accessible from anywhere within F.C.T and it is a reference point for description.
Mirabeth U. ★★★★★ : If I were to describe it in two words, I'd say "simply thrilling!" I was all over the place exploring and moving around from grocery shopping to clothing, to gadget accessories... It was exciting. I'd say I've barely even explored enough, as I was kinda in a hurry, trying to beat time.

Lydia A. ★★★★★ : Dutse Market is proof that if an item exists anywhere on this planet, somebody in this market is selling it. 😂😂😂 I came to buy one thing and somehow left carrying three extra items and enough gist to last a week. The traders here deserve honorary degrees in persuasion because they'll convince you that the item you didn't plan to buy is exactly what you've been missing in life. A very budget friendly market too. The market is lively, full of energy, and beautifully chaotic in the most Nigerian way possible. There's always movement, laughter, bargaining, and somebody calling out, "Madam, come and check my own first!" Dutse Market isn't just a place to shop; it's an experience. You come for groceries and leave with products, stories, and an unexpected workout from all the walking.
FAVOUR ★★★★★ : Always crowded with people but it a good place to buy anything you want also look out for your pocket and be careful.

Coming from the Main Entrance of Life Camp her shop is the first, due to renovation, if you're entering from the second gate where those mallam sell fruit, the you will locate her shop at the extreme end close to the first gate. They sell at a very good whole sale price.
