Sokoto Central Market, Kara and the secretariat
Central Market for the buying, the secretariat for the queue, UDUS out on the Birnin Kebbi road. Send a verified runner and pay at the handover rather than in advance.

How sending someone works
- 1Post and fund
Say what you need, the most the runner may spend, and a fee. That total is held from your wallet. Nothing goes live unfunded.
- 2They run it
A verified runner accepts, checks in from the queue or the counter, and pays with their own money up to your ceiling.
- 3Hand over
They show a 6-digit code; you type it into your phone. That releases the money — their spend back, plus the fee. Anything unused returns to you.
