Route knowledge

Booking a Coaster for Lagos to Abuja

The route runs from your pickup point in Lagos along the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway, through Oyo, Ilorin and Lokoja, before joining the Abuja–Lokoja road into the FCT. Drivers assigned to this route know where the stretches slow down — road works around Ilorin and traffic through Lokoja are the usual points to plan around.

For groups on a tight schedule, an early morning departure from Lagos keeps most of the drive in daylight and avoids arriving into Abuja at night. Rest stops are typically built in around Ilorin or Lokoja.
