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.
Regarding driving with a US driver's license specifically, the FRSC does not provide clear guidance on whether a US license is recognized in Nigeria. However, some sources suggest that it may be possible to use a US driver's license in Nigeria along with an IDP. 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.
