Go to a reputable interstate motor park in Minna. Major companies like GIGM, GUO, Peace Mass, or ABC Transport usually have their own terminals or operate from central parks like Minna Central Motor Park. Arrive at least 30-60 minutes before your desired departure time to book your ticket and load luggage.

Board your chosen bus (usually a Hiace commuter bus or a larger luxury bus). The bus will depart Minna, navigating local unnamed roads, then turn onto Federal Road F.126 Zungeru - Izom, heading towards Bida. You will pass through a series of roundabouts; follow the main road.

Continue on the main route, which will lead you onto the Western Bypass around Bida. You'll then connect to the Minna-Bida Road and subsequently the Bida-Minna Road, before merging onto the A124 highway.

The journey proceeds as you take a slight right fork onto Jebba Road, which then transitions into the Ibadan-Ilorin Expressway. This is a major dual carriageway for a significant portion of your trip.

The bus will pass through Ilorin (often with a brief stop or just passing by the city outskirts). There will typically be one or two designated rest stops along the Ilorin-Ibadan Expressway for refreshments and stretching your legs. This is a good time to use the restroom and buy snacks.

Continue on the main highway, taking a left onto Ogbomoso-Ikoyi Road. You will navigate through Ogbomoso and Oyo towns, following Ogbomoso Oyo Road, Oyo-Ogbomoso Road, and Oyo Road as you approach Ibadan. The road quality can vary in these sections.

Upon entering Ibadan, the bus will follow E1, navigating through local roads like Kenneth Dike Way, A1, Dakeja Street, and Beere Road as it heads towards the main terminal. The final destination for buses from the North is typically Ojoo Motor Park.

Upon arrival at Ojoo Motor Park, you can find local transport options like Keke Napep (tricycle), Danfo (mini-bus), or taxis to take you to your final destination within Ibadan.
