Please i need someone to tell me how to get to united states embassy abuja from lagos, and i also need a cheap hotel close to the embassy, thanx

If coming through commercial transport by road and the bus's final destination is abuja usually you will drop around jabi or berger area depends on the bus company. The main road there is obafemi awolowo road. Get a taxi from there and tell them american embassy, phase 2, good bargain around 400-600 bucks cabbies in abuja are usually friendly make sure you use the green and white stripes cab and get a youngster, the older guys seems to have grudge also wear your seat belt. The cab should head north east to the city area. If by air, taxi good bargain around 1500 - 2500 bucks if you can get the green and white cab that came to drop off passenger it will be cheaper (around 1200 bucks but don't do shakara just be smart.).

As for hotel if you are looking for something cheap lets say less than N5k/night then tell the cabby to take you to tamale street zone 3 (forgot the exact name of the hotel) about 15 mins drive to the embassy If you need supplies from this hotel you'll have to walk a lil bit. Another area for cheap accommodation is alexandria crescent around sherfiff plaza about 25mins drive to embassy (metcho hotel is an option), note these hotels (less than N5K) don't on gen in the day time and have cold shower in the morning but the beddings are clean probably not new paint but anyways good for 1-4 days visa runs. At metcho hotel there are more shops and life a stone throw away. Good luck!
