I boarded it 2 days ago, its a wonderful experience they charged N8500 from Abuja to Lagos, they economy class paid N7500, they left promptly. It is only for those who like like night journey or need to go to lagos urgently that it is available for , they depart Abuja at 4pm and arrive Lagos by 5am

Insurance cover must be in foreign exchange then. Night journey for what. Even I won't try that by road.

Nice one... Will try it soon

Ekesons Makes History with First Class Cabin in Road Buses

A unique niche has been created in the public transport sector by E Ekesons Bros Nigeria Limited with the introduction of a truly First Class travel experience on some of its fleet of buses.

The buses which are already on ground and offering services, are fitted with a segmented First Class section which provides personalized audio visual facility enabling each passenger to select and watch whatever he or she pleases throughout the duration of the journey.

Each passenger in the First Class segment of the bus is also entitled to exclusive power outlets that enable him or her to charge a laptop and a phone.

In order to enhance the First Class comfort, the First Class section of the bus offers more leg room, leather chairs, and an ambience that is not any lesser than what is provided in the air bus. Aside the air conditioning system for all passengers in the bus, there is also refrigerated drinks and an in-built toilet.

Managing Director of the company, Engr. Chijioke Ojukwu stated that the introduction of the service which is first of its kind in the country for public transportation is meant to add value to customer experience.

According to him, “we have done this in so many ways, apart from improving safety, we have also been able to add more comfort. Currently, as the company stands, we have been able to bring in the first of its kind VIP Executive to the coach section. “So we now have coaches that will give you VIP experience which in Ekeson we call it B-SWAG. B-SWAG is a product we coined to suit both the old and the young, it is a bus system that give you far more leg room and more space for those who would want to sleep and also an on-board multi-entertainment system just like you have on the aircraft for long distance travels where you select your movie on demand, your choice of music, your choice of books on each seat.

“It is so personalised, you would not want to miss having that experience.

It is the first ever to be on the coach system in Nigeria. Apart from this, there are still so much to enjoy, the refreshment, the meals on board, the cabin crew- both male and female, the cabin hostess are well trained and are equipped to make the travel very comfortable. People now travel in comfort and in style, when we say in comfort and style, we mean in true comfort and in true style”.

The Managing Director, who is a frontline COREN (Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria) certified Engineer, added that the company’s growing number of customers are getting valuable services on all routes it plies.

You are not correct, am average Southeastner can afford it and that's their target, if we can pay as much as 15k to travel for Xmas or Ester even on normal day to day activities that we do in terms of business and the rest, is not a big deal for us, we southeasterners well surely go for it

Read the comment you replied to and read your reply. Then tell us the correlation!

Great

I just left Nigeria yesterday. I was in PH for a month. The way crime is reported in Nigeria, one would think that it is a war zone. I went to Imo State (Isunjaba) through Owerri. I was in Anambra and Enugu states for social outings. I even ran into F-SARS on three different occasions in Rivers State. In all, my one month experience didn't leave me with any bitter taste. I had 24/7 electricity with rare blackouts occasionally not exceeding 15 minutes. Never once did I use my generator. This is in PH.

It makes me wonder which part of Nigeria where all these doomsday crimes happen. If I should chronicle the crimes in US, most people will not go near US Embassy. I am not saying that Nigeria is good or bad, but Nigerians are the ones making Nigeria scarier than it is.

Excuse me bro - what did u say again


This visit you narrated is most probably not Nigeria you visited or may be you are extremely lucky!

Lets do it this way pls repeat this your visit for just one week then lets hear your story again - its then you will realize too late that your first visit was a campaign by the evil ones to make you come for a second time so they can get enough gbola from you!

An invitation to kidnappers

true talk. That was exactly what came to my mind. Travelling by road these days is a risk in itself, why draw unnecessary attention to yourself.

Nigeria is in a big mess, this service is available for all passengers in Ghana STC transport company. Even orthopedic chairs and we are celebrating nonsense, which first class? We always want to build class and this is our problem.

And no interior pictures

First class on top bad road

Op, DAT pic u put na wrong one o. E Ekeson have stopped using Mercedes marcopolo since 2016. Na yutong Dem they use. And I think am a regular customer cos, ve traveled in almost all their luxury buses. The four white yutong luxury buses were bought late 2017 and they have USB charging outlets behind all seats, VPN wifi access for all passengers and TV. But as at early 2019, passengers don spoil all d ports finish. NIGeRIANs too get spoiling culture

This is a very intelligent and commendable breakthrough. I hope you have enough Engineers and technicians on ground to handle system breakdowns cos if bad road could affect the tech set up of my car the way it did at Obigbo road this August, they you better be prepared. Sensors and fuses will need so much attention. Congrats and the best wish from Immuno1.

AryaSand:
But ABC already have this.

no be only ABC na XYZ

Hope this first class cabin is immune to benin bypass fulani herdsmen cum kidnappers

Hedonisco:


What security arrangements do they have? Does the bus have armed escorts?

No security escorts

Except you secure yourself in whatever way you know
