Dei Dei Market

This is the most prominent building market in the FCT, located in Dei Dei, a satellite town of the Murtala Mohammed Expressway (Zuba – Kubwa road).

The Abuja International Building Material Market, which I will refer to as the “Main Market”, is about 3km from the express. Still, shops, malls, and plazas sell building materials before and after the primary market.

The timber shed where you can buy wood and the GP tank sellers are before the main market.

Are building materials cheaper inside the primary international market or outside in the shops located before and after the primary market? You have to wait and find out.

The main market consists of different sections

Plumbing pipes section

Steel/iron rods, pipes, and sheet section

Then the general market section consists of shops selling a mix of everything from

electrical pipes, wires, and fitting

Plumbing fitting

Paint

Tiles

Cement

Doors and their accessories

Tools and equipment etc.


Zone 5 Building Material Market

The 2nd market on our list is the Zone 5 Building Material Market opposite the gate Shippers Plaza, Michael Okpara Street, Wuse Zone 5.

The major items sold in this market are plumbing pipes and fitting, but you can also find other building materials here to buy, but there is less variety and higher prices than you can get in the Dei Dei market.

And similar to Dei Dei, most plazas before and after the primary market sells different kinds of building materials.


Gudu Electrical Part Market

The 3rd market on our list is the Gudu Electrical Part Market, located off the Abdulsalami Abubakar Road. As the name implies, the market has a high concentration of shops selling electrical cables and fittings, you can find other shops selling other building materials, but they make up for about 10% of the market.

Like Zone 5 and the Dei Dei market, most plazas around the market sell electrical and other building materials.
