Domestic flights are the safest way between Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and Kano. The Lagos–Ibadan and Abuja–Kaduna trains run; road travel at night is discouraged.
Key facts

- Driving: on the right. Foreign licences are accepted briefly with an IDP; police checkpoints are frequent, and driving yourself in Lagos is not recommended.
