As part of the conference organization, there will be secure ground transportation from Abuja airport to all major hotels in Abuja Central District. On arrival at Abuja airport, delegates should please approach airport representatives holding up the NAPE sign or look for a stand with NAPE/AAPG logo.

Delegates who prefer personal transportation (rental car) should arrange with the hotels where they have reservation. Alternatively, they can contact us at the email below for car hire to meet them at the airport. Most rental car services in Nigeria are chauffer driven.

For Lagos arrivals, it is strongly recommended that delegates use their affiliated company reception facilities as they may have to stay overnight in Lagos before proceeding to Abuja the following morning. Most international flights arrive Lagos in the early to late evenings. We do not plan to have dedicated NAPE airport reception in Lagos as almost all oil companies in Nigeria have facilities in place. For delegates that are not associated with any oil company, and are entering Nigeria via Lagos, please contact the conference organizers ahead of time for specific needs. In addition, some of the major airlines could route Abuja bound passengers through their local partner airlines, and offer a night room in Lagos.

During the conference, there will be scheduled shuttle bus services from major hotels in Abuja to the conference venue. The frequency will be noted on the buses as well as the NAPE desk in each of the major hotels. Transportation will also be provided from the various hotels to any social event venue. Please see the conference programme for details. On Thursday, November 18 and Friday, November 19, airport shuttle services will also be provided.
