Compiling Route Details...
This guide details the journey from Lagos to Makurdi, Benue State. While the prompt specifies 'Wudil (Lagos)' and 'Makurdi (Abuja)', it's important to note that 'Wudil' is not a major transport hub in Lagos, and Makurdi is the capital of Benue State, not located within Abuja. This guide interprets the request as a journey starting from Lagos, transiting through Abuja (as implied by 'Makurdi (Abuja)' and mention of Abuja terminals), and ending in the actual Makurdi, Benue State. The trip is a long interstate journey, typically broken into two main legs: Lagos to Abuja, and then Abuja to Makurdi, covering a total distance of approximately 840 km and taking between 14 to 18 hours, depending on traffic, stops, and transfers.

Step 1: Getting to the Lagos Terminal. Use local transport (Danfo, Keke, or ride-hailing) to reach a major interstate park in Lagos. Recommended parks include Jibowu, Iyana Ipaja, or Maza Maza. Arrive at least 1 hour before your planned departure.
Step 2: Booking your ticket to Abuja. Approach reputable transport companies like GIGM, GUO Transport, Peace Mass Transit, or ABC Transport. Book a ticket for Abuja (Utako or Jabi Park). Confirm the departure time and vehicle type (usually a luxury bus or a Hiace bus).
Step 3: Departure from Lagos. Your bus will depart from the terminal. The journey typically starts by navigating through the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
Step 4: The journey to Abuja. The route commonly passes through Ore (for a brief stop), then Lokoja (a major transit town with a stop for food/restroom, usually around the Niger Bridge area). Expect security checkpoints along the way. Road conditions vary, with dual carriageways and some rough patches.

Step 6: Connecting to Makurdi from Abuja. From your arrival park in Abuja, you'll need to transfer to another section or a different park that has vehicles going to Makurdi. Peace Mass Transit and Benue Links often have dedicated services. Look for Sienna charters as well, which are common for this leg.
Step 7: Booking your ticket to Makurdi. Book a ticket for Makurdi. This leg is usually via a Hiace bus or a Sienna minivan.
Step 8: Departure from Abuja. The vehicle will depart from the park, heading towards Keffi and Lafia.

Best Time to Travel
Depart from Lagos very early in the morning (e.g., 5:00 AM - 6:00 AM) to beat Lagos traffic and cover most of the Lagos-Abuja leg in daylight. For the Abuja-Makurdi leg, ensure you depart Abuja no later than 1:00 PM to arrive in Makurdi before dark.
Safety Rating
Medium. The Lagos-Abuja corridor has improved but still requires vigilance, especially during evening hours. The Abuja-Makurdi route, particularly the Keffi-Lafia stretch, has reported incidents of insecurity, making daytime travel highly recommended. 'One-chance' syndicates can operate in local transit within Lagos and Abuja.
