Wow Lagos Finally Built Nigeria's Biggest Mega Indoor Food Market

Lagos recently commissioned a major new modern facility—the ₦5 billion Lagos Fresh Food Hub at Pen Cinema, Agege, on August 12, 2026—expanding its network of organized agro-produce markets, though traditional giants like Mile 12 remain the country's largest overall bulk food trading centers.
