Go to the Gwagwalada Park or any official 'Araba' (shared taxi) loading point within Gwagwalada heading towards Abuja city center.
Board a shared taxi (usually a Toyota Carina, Golf, or Sharon) going directly to Area 1 Garki. Confirm the destination before boarding.
From Area 1 Garki, alight and look for another shared taxi or 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) heading to the Central Business District (CBD). Specifically ask for 'Secretariat' or 'Federal Secretariat' or 'Foreign Affairs Ministry' which is close to the Belgium Embassy.

Safety Rating
Medium. While the main expressways are generally safe during the day, 'one-chance' incidents (where passengers are robbed by fake commercial vehicle operators) can occur, especially when boarding from unofficial points or late at night. Always board from designated parks and avoid empty vehicles.
