Saraki Market (Ago Ita Amoh) is located in the Itamo area, where they sell different kinds of raw food such as rice, beans, millet, maize, yam flour, yam, potatoes, and more. This market was named after the demise of a renowned politician in Ilorin, who was known for the good work he did for everyone in the community.

Olusola Saraki Market Place is the market based on selling raw food at wholesale prices, and some of their foodstuffs are cheaper compared to other areas within the community because most of them buy goods directly from the farms in rural areas, where farming is the primary occupation.

I usually visit this market place at the end of the month because I believe I can get everything I need comfortably without stressing myself. Customer satisfaction is their concern, and they ensure that customers do not regret purchasing from them. They are well-respected, and they also make sure that customers receive quality food that they can eat in their households.

The majority of people who engage in this kind of business are women because they are the ones who know what the customers want since it is raw food that is consumed by the general public.

This market specifically has a head of the market who coordinates the affairs of the market by ensuring that all the places in the market are well cleaned so that the environment can be conducive for everyone.

The price of their products varies depending on what customers prefer to buy. During the last 3 months, their products have increased in price, but today the price of their goods has decreased, which makes us customers happy to see that.

They have a parking area where customers can drop down from their vehicles and buy whatever raw food they need. The place is well organized where you can move freely, and the sellers who know what they are doing keep calling customers to patronize what they are selling.

They do not joke with the customers because they know that the money given to them by customers to purchase their goods is used to take care of their families.

The raw food they are selling is natural, which plays a crucial role in our health. The sellers have customer relationships where they can guide you on the use of the products.
