Allow time to reach central Ibadan from Moniya station

Über diese Trap
The Lagos to Ibadan train ends at Obafemi Awolowo Station in Moniya, in the north of the city and well away from the centre. Public transport to the station can be limited, so book a ride-hailing car or a driver and keep that leg out of tight connections. Build a buffer on departure days too, since the extra trips added around Eid in 2026 were temporary and timetables change. Check the Nigerian Railway Corporation schedule before you plan your day.
