Nigeria City Distance Calculator — Inter-City Travel Cost Estimator

Distances are approximate road distances between city centres, sourced from established Nigerian road maps. Actual distances may vary depending on the specific route taken, road diversions, and whether you travel via express roads or local roads. Always verify with Google Maps for your specific journey.

The Lagos–Abuja road distance is approximately 960km via the Lokoja route (A2/A3). Normal driving time is 9–11 hours without heavy traffic. With stopovers and typical road conditions (checkpoints, traffic in Lokoja), most travellers take 12–14 hours. Travellers often stop overnight at Lokoja or Okene.

Bus travel (GIGM, God is Good Motors, Chisco, Agofure) is cheapest at ₦5,000–₦30,000 depending on route. Car travel costs more in fuel but offers flexibility. Air travel (Lagos-Abuja typically ₦50,000–₦150,000) is fastest. For groups, shared car hire or "danfo" variants can be cost-effective.

For a car consuming 10 litres/100km at ₦700/litre: 960km × ₦70/km = ₦67,200 in fuel. For a bus consuming 30 litres/100km: ₦201,600 total fuel cost shared among 14–18 passengers = ₦11,000–₦14,400 per seat, aligning with actual bus fares.
