What's The Best Way To Travel From Lagos To Yobe State? by Gynn: 9:08am On Aug 31, 2021
A friend will like to travel from lagos and get to Yobe on Friday morning, preferably.

I learnt there's no direct flight from Lagos down there.

So the best route is to take flight from Lagos to Kano. And then bus from Kano to Potiskum.

Can someone who has experience point out where he can take bus in Kano to Potiskum.

Thanks everyone for your contributions. Journey was successful

Never embark on any road journey this early in any part of Nigeria (especially the North) if you value your life

You answered your question. Your friend could go to Abuja by air too. I think there are more flight options to the north from there.

Thanks man.
Although that's quite early.
I believe there should be buses that'll leave later in the day. Right?

I agree. Insecurity too high.

But Yobe doesn't have an Airport, or do they?

You can actually leave Lagos and arrive Potiskum same day.

Take an early morning flight to Kano. At the airport, take an airport shuttle and inform the driver to drop you off at the Damaturu bus park (I can't remember the name of the park).

Kano to Potiskum is about 4 hours and the roads are safe and motorable. You need to land in Kano latest 12noon to have any chance of entering Potiskum before 7pm (delay in loading of passengers at the bus park).

Alternatively, you could decide to use the car hire service from Kano airport to Potiskum-Damaturu (costs roughly NGN40,000).

If only you can fly to any northeast states, your journey could have been much more easier...
And mark you! Evening/night Journey are the most discouraged in the north....
Most drivers leave early to cover the danger zones
