These products are no longer seen as extras but essentials for users whose daily routines depend on keeping their devices active and functional.
Here are the most popular markets in Lagos where you can buy affordable phone accessories whether you’re shopping in bulk or not.
Saka Tinubu, located in Victoria Island, Lagos, is one of the most popular spots for tech lovers on the Island. While it may not have the scale of Ikeja’s Computer Village, it has carved a solid reputation as the go to market for mobile phones and accessories for those who live or work around Victoria Island, Lekki, and Ikoyi.
The market began to take shape in the early 2000s as small phone dealers and repair technicians moved closer to the business district to serve corporate clients who didn’t want to make long trips to Ikeja. Over time, those early traders expanded into full-fledged stores, creating a cluster of phone shops that transformed Saka Tinubu Street into what many now call the Computer Village of the Island.
If you’re looking for phone accessories, you’ll find stores selling chargers, USB cables, power banks, phone cases, screen protectors, tempered glass, and memory cards. Bluetooth headsets, wireless earbuds etc.
Besides accessories, many shops sell both new and fairly used smartphones, with technicians offering quick repairs like screen replacements, battery swaps, and software updates while you wait.The street hosts several other businesses like computer and tablet shops, mini electronics stores selling speakers and TVs etc
