Turn right onto Abogo Largema Street, and you will see the National Mosque on your left after a short walk.
Public Transport (Bus)
From the popular area of Wuse Market, you can take a local bus (often called a 'Danfo') heading towards the Central Business District. Ask the conductor to drop you off at the nearest bus stop to the National Mosque. Once you get off, head towards Abogo Largema Street. Walk along this street for about 5 minutes, and you will see the mosque on your left. Make sure to check with locals for the exact bus route as it may vary.
Bicycle
If you're renting a bicycle, start from the Nigerian National Mosque's nearby landmarks like the National Assembly Complex. Head south towards Ahmadu Bello Way, and then turn left. Cycle straight for about 1.5 kilometers until you reach the intersection with Abogo Largema Street. Turn right onto Abogo Largema Street, and you will find the National Mosque on your left side after a short distance.
