Garki Modern Market (AMML1002)
The Garki Modern Market, also widely known as the Garki Model Market or Garki Ultra-Modern Market, is a large-scale, well-structured commercial facility in the Garki District of Abuja. This market was developed as part of the FCT's efforts to provide organized and modern trading environments, often incorporating better infrastructure and planning than older, informal markets. With over 1,500 shops, it is a significant commercial center that draws customers from across the Garki district and other parts of the city.
The market provides a vast array of goods, specializing in general merchandise, including clothing, shoes, bags, food items, and general household goods. It is a highly popular spot for everyday shopping due to its convenience and comprehensive offerings. Unlike the more specialized markets, Garki Modern Market serves as a general retail hub, featuring both wholesale and retail vendors, and maintaining the characteristic lively atmosphere of a major Nigerian market where bargaining is standard practice.
The management of the market is focused on upholding its "Modern" status by ensuring cleanliness, security, and an improved shopping experience for all. As one of the key markets overseen by the Abuja Markets Management Limited (AMML), there is a continuous emphasis on maintenance and order to preserve the market's infrastructure and functionality, ensuring it remains an integral and reliable part of the Garki community and the broader Abuja economy.
