About Tejuosho Market

Over five decades of trade, community and growth in the heart of Yaba.

Our History

From Yaba market to modern complex

For decades, Tejuosho was one of Yaba's busiest conventional markets, a favourite with Mainland families for good-value fabrics, clothing and household goods, right by Ojuelegba and Yaba's transport links.

After a fire destroyed most of the old market, it was rebuilt through a public-private partnership between the Lagos State Government, Stormberg Engineering Limited and First Bank of Nigeria. The modern, multi-storey Main Tejuosho Shopping Complex was commissioned in 2014.

Today it is home to hundreds of shops selling lace and fabrics, fashion, shoes and bags, jewellery, electronics and home goods. Read the full history.
