If you live in Abuja, you already know that being busy + hunger is a dangerous combo. That’s why food delivery apps are saving lives literally.
Whether you’re in Maitama ordering amala at 10pm, or in Gwarinpa craving pizza at lunch, these apps make food come to you faster than your landlord on rent day.
So, let’s break down the best food delivery apps in Abuja that are changing the way we eat.
