Is It Possible To Drive In Nigeria With An EU Driving Licence? by analryder: 3:54pm On Sep 14, 2017
My fellow Nigerians, I would want to confirm if it is possible to drive in Nigeria with an EU Driving Licence and not get help up by law enforcement.

I have been driving for about 10yrs within the EU-region.

Driving licences and vehicles. Foreign nationals are allowed in Nigeria using their foreign licences for three months and international licence for a period of one year. During this time they are expected to apply for a Nigerian driver's license. Information can be found on the Federal Road Safety Commission website

i hope you can prove the bolded to
1. police
2. Army
3. Vio
4. NSCDC
5. NCS
6. State/local road enforcement agencies

Sure but every alien driving licence has expiry date for upgrade just like @nurey suggested and b4 you can start using your alien licence, its alwsys adviseable you visit the FRSC office personally for cpnfirmation and the MTD of NPF for suitability of driving test. As ur driving skill might be right handed or otherwise which is contrary to Nigerian standard and to familiarise yourself with other road signs and rules. Best luck.

I don't think so, just as u get a new license when u travel overseas, I think u might need to get a Nigerian license, but u can actually use the license to score your moniker

Why dont you also bring your EU bed, kitchen, garden and leftover of the Euro to come and use here? Wait when Biafra starts Kaanu will allow it he is British. Oh...wait Brexit! Throw it away kid, its useless then.

Can I use Nigeria driver's license in UK? Logical reasoning. The driving code in UK is different from Nigeria.

Yes if you are visiting but for the first year of being legalized if you are a resident
Re: Is It Possible To Drive In Nigeria With An EU Driving Licence? by tony9k: 7:34am On Sep 15, 2017
To the person who asked, yes as a visitor you are allowed to use your Nigerian licence to drive in the UK for a limited period ( I think year) in the UK. Ditto for the US. The issue is that Uk drives on the left and US on the right ( same as nigeria) so must visitors are more comfortable driving in the US as visitors. By the way you don't need the " International divers licence"
