From Grand Square, Victoria Island, take a local taxi or ride-hailing service (like Bolt/Uber) to a major interstate park. Jibowu Terminal (Yaba) is a central hub for companies like GIGM and ABC Transport. Alternatively, GIGM has a terminal in Ajah which might be closer depending on Grand Square's exact location.

Book your ticket in advance online or at the terminal. Arrive at least 30-60 minutes before departure. These companies operate modern, air-conditioned luxury buses (typically 12-18 seater executive Sprinters or 50-seater coaches) with comfortable seating.

The journey will take you through the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, then through Ilesha, Akure, Owo, and Lokoja. Expect one or two scheduled rest stops at towns like Ore or Lokoja for refreshments and restroom breaks. These stops typically last 15-30 minutes.

The road conditions vary; the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway is generally good, but sections after Akure towards Lokoja can have potholes. You'll encounter several police and military checkpoints. The total travel time is usually 10-12 hours, depending on traffic and stops.

Your bus will likely arrive at Utako or Jabi Park in Abuja (e.g., GIGM's Jabi terminal, ABC's Utako terminal). From there, take a local taxi or ride-hailing service directly to Maitama. Ensure you negotiate taxi fares or confirm ride-hailing prices before starting.
