Abuja - Post Report Question and Answers

What kind of vehicle(s) including electric ones do you recommend bringing to post, given the terrain, infrastructure, availability of parts, burglary/carjacking risks, etc.? What kind of car or vehicles do you advise not to bring?

No electric vehicles. That may go without saying, but apparently one of my colleagues has tried it and is now very unhappy. Bring big sturdy SUVs that you don't mind getting dinged and dusty. - Jun 2024


If you can get a higher clearance SUV that isn't too fancy, that is best. We can't drive far distances so an old Toyota is great - easy to fix, easy to sell. - Mar 2024
