    Are there any tips you would give to a Field X Engineer who needs to make a service, sales, or support visit to Nigeria?

    Dear Tim, its depend on the Location you are going in Nigeria. if the location of the Field X Engineer is in the East, what State or Local Government in East. If the South Western Part of Nigeria you are free to go anywhere in the 6 states, North Central is relative Okay and NW okay. For North East is a no go area for now. South South too is also okay for now. But what ever work you are doing within Nigeria should not be late at Night except in the SW.

      HI Rasheed, thanks for this reply. Could you go into a bit more depth about why some locations are no go, and why not to go out at night? For a first time visitor a bit more detail would be great.

        The Locations there are insurgent in those location and its not advisable for a foreign who doesn’t understand the terrain to move around in odd hours but for SouthWestern part its okay. If you are in Abuja its okay, Lagos is Okay to work at Night no issue. Most state Capital are okay
