At Utako or Jabi Park, look for transport companies or charter Sienna/Hiace vehicles heading to Kano. Reputable companies like GIGM (God Is Good Motors) might have executive buses to Kano, or you can join a shared Sienna/Hiace. Book your ticket early, especially if traveling during festive periods.
