Abuja offers various transportation options to suit your needs during the NADPA-RAPDP Conference and AGM 2025. Public buses provide a cost-effective way to get around, though they can be less frequent and challenging for first-time visitors. Shared taxis are a common choice among locals but may not be ideal for non-residents unfamiliar with the routes. For greater convenience, international and local car rental services are available—be sure to opt for rentals with insurance coverage and GPS navigation. To navigate the city efficiently, avoid peak traffic hours from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM and 4:30 PM to 7:00 PM.

The official currency of Nigeria is the Naira (₦), with exchange rates that fluctuate, so it’s advisable to check the current rate before your trip. Currency exchange services are conveniently available at the airport, banks, and major hotels, while authorized Bureau de Change (BDC) outlets often provide competitive rates. Major credit cards, such as Visa and MasterCard, are widely accepted in hotels, malls, and restaurants, offering an alternative to cash transactions. To ensure seamless use of your credit cards, notify your bank about your travel plans in advance to avoid any potential transaction issues during your stay.
