Why put fear in the guy’s mind If you can’t assist to get a flight ticket? Just go ahead and tell him where he can get a good vehicle to Abuja period.

@OP, I’ve got much at hands now if not I for pay even if na just going alone.

Please let’s know how far by then. Safe going.

About as safe as playing with a rattlesnake!

In today’s Nigeria, what type of wicked employer will insist his staff travel to Abuja at short notice without even giving them flight ticket or money to buy one!?

these roads especially obajana are terrible.
The road collapsed some days ago when I was going back to abuja.
We spent 11 hours on that road
Confirm from anyone that travelled on that road to Abuja from Lagos on Friday to Sunday
Journey of some hours turned to 2 days and half.
I left Lagos on Friday evening and got to Abuja midnight Sunday

Many truck drivers have turn that route to a safe heaven.

It can be like that at times, okene was a sure bet but it is a death trap at night.

The road btw okene and ogori mangogo.
No security post, it's pure forest, only you and your God to pass tru a 15mins road.

Niger state is the fastest route but my God that road is not good, Bida to mokwa a journey that shouldn't last 1hr you will spend 3 hours. God have mercy.

We are not asking much from this government, just give us good roads and security. We will hustle the rest

It is not safe. Accident. Kidnapping. If it is a must, plan for 2 days trip to avoid being on road at night. Lagos to Ado-Ekiti or Akure. Phase 1. Phase 2 is Ado/ Akure to Abuja. Each phase is about 6 to 7 hours. Night travel can be avoided with this. You can find somewhere to stay in Akure/Ado.

Highly recommended, bro.
Always a great opportunity to learn about Nigeria's beautiful topography and ethnic diversity. It's not every time we get the opportunity to trek 90kms into the forest, whilst mingling with our kind Fulani brothers.

I have not recovered from what I went through on that road.
11 good hours!! On that road. On obajana alone o.
Vehicles stood still.
Hunger almost finished us
People were fighting over corn and groundnut.
The good thing was that God sent a heavy sleep on those kidnappers and bandits if not......

I ply Lagos to Abuja route very easily with night buses and I follow Ekeson.
Go to Jibowu, Ekeson's first bus leaves by 4PM prompt, by 5-6AM, you're in Abuja already. At least you can rest before going for your meeting.

If it’s as unsafe as you’re being advised I doubt busses would plight the route as often and fully patronised.
Re: How Safe Is Traveling By Road At Night From Lagos To Abuja by awalate: 1:43pm On Sep 09, 2021
I advise you go to Ojota park. There you see plenty buses loading Abuja from 5 pm to 10 pm.
But don't enter big Lorry, else you will see yourself in Abuja by 2 pm tomorrow.

With the current security situation,even travelling during the day is by the grace of God,let alone night. Tell your company you cannot travel by road it's very risky. If they still want your service they will make provision for flight ticket. Life is good

Good day, in spite of the security challenges which many have spoken on, trust me people travel on night journeys these days than they do during the day. ABC, EKESON, GUO, are best bet for Fast, easy and reliability. Students, traders etal, who has something to catch up with next day frequently ply the highways safe. Most of the companies that ply night journey has some sort of security initiative. Go ABC.

If only flight way is not possible, the least you can take is those registered luxurious buses. Avoid the small buses.

if u'r also still bent on road journey, it's advisable to take off from Lagos around evening so that you can get to Abuja early in the morning...good buses are in IDDO...Also, you can split ur journey into two.

The long journeys are usually accompanied with body aches and headache.

Again if it's possible, opt for flight for the one time journey.
