Transport GuideHow to travel from Abeokuta to Lafia(Bus, Car, Taxi)

Go to a major interstate motor park in Abeokuta. Recommended parks include Kuto Motor Park or the specific terminals of reputable transport companies like GIGM, GUO Transport, or ABC Transport. Book your ticket in advance, especially during festive periods.

Board a comfortable luxury bus or Hiace (Toyota Hummer) bus. These vehicles are generally well-maintained and offer a more structured journey with designated stops. The bus will depart from Abeokuta and head towards the Abeokuta-Sagamu Expressway (A5).

Continue on the Abeokuta-Sagamu Expressway, which seamlessly merges into the Benin-Sagamu Expressway. You will pass through the Sagamu interchange, a major junction.

The journey continues eastward, passing through Ore in Ondo State. Most buses will make a mandatory rest stop here for passengers to use restrooms and buy refreshments.

Proceed towards Benin City, Edo State. The bus will typically use the Benin City Bypass (also known as Benin by pass) to avoid city traffic, linking up with the Benin Agbor road.

From the Benin Agbor axis, the bus will connect to the A232 highway, heading north towards Lokoja. This segment leads into Kogi State.

Arrive in Lokoja, Kogi State, a major confluence town. Buses usually make another brief stop here, allowing passengers to stretch or use facilities, before continuing on the A3 highway.

Continue on the A3 highway, passing through parts of Kogi and then into Benue State. You will cross the River Benue and head towards Makurdi.

Reach Makurdi, the capital of Benue State. This is often the last major stop before Lafia, where passengers can have a meal or final break.

From Makurdi, the bus will continue on the A3 (Makurdi-Jos road segment) directly to Lafia, Nasarawa State.

Arrive at the main bus terminal or the specific transport company's park in Lafia. From here, you can take a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or a local taxi to your final destination within Lafia.
