Sokoto is a predominantly Muslim city in northwest Nigeria with strong halal food culture. Halal options are abundant and integrated into daily eating, though formal halal certification is uncommon; most food is halal by practice and Muslim ownership. Street food, local eateries, and market vendors dominate the landscape.
