However, if you do not have an IDP, you may be required to obtain a Nigerian driver's license in order to legally drive in Nigeria.

It's always best to check with the FRSC or the Nigerian embassy in the US to confirm the current requirements and regulations for driving with a foreign driver's license in Nigeria.
