Visiting a Nigerian university for a conference, research programme, academic meeting, guest lecture, exchange programme, graduation, campus tour or other educational activity often requires transportation beyond the airport.
For visitors arriving from another country or Nigerian city, arranging airport pickup in advance can make the journey to the university, hotel or campus accommodation more organised.
Travo.ng provides applicable airport pickup, private driver and transportation services for university visitors, academic guests, researchers, conference participants and other educational travellers in Nigeria.

The applicable vehicle and driver arrangement depend on the visitor’s itinerary, number of passengers, luggage, destinations and availability.

Some Nigerian universities already coordinate airport collection for international visitors, demonstrating the importance of providing flight details and arrival information ahead of the trip.
