You can book an Okeyson Motors seat online at the company website or in its mobile app, pay by card, and travel the same day if seats remain. Okeyson’s own FAQ confirms same-day booking.

What you cannot get from that site is a fare list. Okeyson publishes no price table for any route. Every 2026 figure in circulation comes from a third party, and those figures disagree with each other by as much as ₦19,500 on the same route.

We checked this on November 11, 2026, covering the booking flow, the terminals page, the terms page, the refund page and seven independent fare guides. This guide reports what Okeyson publishes, separates that from what resellers advertise, and gives you the checks to run before your money leaves your account.

LagosMove does not sell tickets and takes no commission from any operator.

Key takeaways

• Book on the Okeyson Transports website or in the app, and pay by card. Okeyson’s FAQ tells you to search “Okeyson Transports” in the app store, but the actual listing is named OIS Mobile.
• There is no official price list. Reported Lagos to Onitsha fares run from about ₦25,000 to ₦41,500. Lagos to Abuja runs from about ₦30,000 to ₦49,500.
• Okeyson’s terminals page lists 11 Lagos boarding points. Jibowu appears on its homepage but not on that list, and the page lists no Abuja or Kaduna terminal at all.
• No published night departure from Lagos exists. Third-party guides describe evening windows, but none names a route, a terminal or a fare.
• The terms page and the refund page carry two different cancellation charges. Get the rule for your ticket in writing before you pay.

How Okeyson Motors online booking works

The flow follows the usual shape for Nigerian intercity operators. You give the journey details, the site shows you departures, you pick one, then you pay. The fare attaches to the departure you select, not to the route in general.

One first-hand note before you start. The booking form’s departure menu mixes origins, towns and parks into single lines. You will see entries such as “Lagos -> Ols okota”, “Lagos -> Mazamaza/first gate” and “Lagos -> Okota -> Alaba -> Jibowu”, alongside options written from the other direction, like “Eboyin -> Abakaliki -> Iyana ipaja”. Read each line twice. Picking the wrong line puts you at the wrong park on travel day.

What you need before you start

• Your Lagos boarding point, not just “Lagos”. Our guide to Lagos bus parks and where each company loads helps you match the park to your area.
• Your destination town.
• Your travel date.
• The number of passengers, including children if you want the app discount.
• A phone number and email address that you actually check. The ticket reference goes to both.
• A card or transfer channel that can complete the payment in one session.

Step by step

1. Open Okeyson Transports or the app.
2. Under Departure Terminal, choose the line that matches your Lagos park.
3. Choose your destination. Not every destination appears on every date, so check before you plan around it.
4. Set the travel date and the passenger count.
5. Pick a departure from those shown. Compare the time against your own travel plan, because a late arrival at the far end changes your onward transport.
6. Pay through the channel the page offers for that trip.
7. Save the reference code. Screenshot it and keep the SMS.

What arrives after payment

Okeyson’s site describes the output as a ticket reference code, sent to your email and phone. It also says a bank debit alert on your registered number confirms the charge went through. It does not promise a printable PDF ticket.

Treat the code as a claim you still have to confirm. Ask the terminal desk to check the reference against the manifest for your departure before you sit down and relax. We could not test a live paid booking on every route from Lagos, so we cannot say every departure issues the same document.

If the app will not open or you cannot log in

The phrase “okeyson motors booking online login” gets searched about 40 times a month, which tells us people expect an account area. The app stores past bookings under “Manage booking / Check in”. If that fails, use the website’s booking flow instead, or call online booking support on 0806 465 0704.

Do not pay anyone who sends you a “login link” by direct message. Okeyson’s own terms warn that bookings made through unauthorised agents or third-party channels are not its responsibility, and it will not refund them. Our guide to checking a WhatsApp booking line before you send money walks through the check.

About the Okeyson app: the name you are searching for is wrong

Okeyson’s FAQ says to download the app by typing “Okeyson Transports” in the Android or Apple store. The listing itself is published as OIS Mobile, which is why people give up and conclude the company has no app.

• OIS Mobile on the App Store
• OIS Mobile on Google Play

The company says the app adds live trip tracking and app-exclusive benefits. Treat that as an advertised feature, not a guarantee for every bus. What the app does confirm is the child fare rule and the check-in tool, both covered below.

Okeyson Motors night bus price: what we could and could not confirm

This is the part most guides get wrong, so here is the honest position.

We found no Okeyson page, timetable or statement that confirms a regular night departure from Lagos. The terminals page lists parks, not times. The FAQ does not mention night service. No fare guide names a night departure from any Lagos park.

What does exist is thinner than it looks:

• One independent listing describes an overnight Aba to Lagos service. That is a bus arriving in Lagos at night, not one leaving Lagos at night. It does not establish a Lagos night departure.
• One third-party guide gives generic windows for long-distance operators, roughly 6:00 to 8:00 a.m., with some afternoon trips from 12:00 to 3:00 p.m. and evening trips from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. Those windows are not tied to a route, a park or a date.
• Another guide says evening trips may run where passenger numbers allow. That is a description of demand, not a schedule.

So the honest answer to “how much is the Okeyson night bus?” is that no published night fare exists. Where an operator does run the same route at night, the fare usually matches the daytime fare, and we found no source showing an Okeyson night surcharge.

Before you commit to a night trip, three questions to put to the terminal:

1. Does a bus leave this park for my destination after 7 p.m. on my date, and what is the departure time?
2. Is the night departure the same fare, and does the ticket carry the same luggage allowance?
3. If the bus is cancelled, do I get a refund or a same-day reschedule, and in writing?

If the answer to the first question is vague, take the morning departure. The Federal Road Safety Corps has repeatedly warned against night road travel in Nigeria, and a fare you cannot confirm is a poor reason to take the risk. Our own reporting on why the overnight buses leave Lagos when they do and on what to prepare for overnight road travel covers the practical side. If you have decided on a night journey, compare the operators that do publish timetables in our guide to the best night travel companies in Nigeria and the Young Shall Grow night bus routes.

Okeyson Motors price list 2026: reported fares by route

Okeyson publishes no fare table, so read the figures below as reported bands, not as quotes. Each one is the lowest and highest figure we could find in a dated source.

The wide figures sit in these fare guides from Intercity, Express Travel, Easymove, TRAVO, Intertransport, Transportlog and AbujaMove. None of them shows a screenshot of a live Okeyson checkout, which is why we treat them as estimates.

The low figures at Lagos parks come from Guardian reporting on the federal fare reduction, where some operators cut selected routes and others did not.

Why the same route shows three different prices

Four things move the number, and none of them is the company name on the bus:

• Date. Holiday periods push fares up, and Okeyson’s terms say it can change prices without notice.
• Bus class. Standard and executive coaches are both reported, and the executive seat costs more.
• Park. A Maza Maza departure and an Okota departure for the same town are not always the same fare.
• Age of the source. A January figure is ten months old by November.

Ask the fare for your date, your park and your bus class. A route range cannot answer that.

Lagos boarding points: the 11 parks Okeyson publishes

This list comes straight from Okeyson’s own terminals page, checked on November 11, 2026. Some Lagos guides name more parks than this, including Jibowu. We are giving you the company’s published list and flagging the gap below.

The head office address on the company site is 160 Okota Road, beside Slot by Cele Express, Cele, Lagos. That is the same address as the Okota park.

The Jibowu question

Okeyson’s homepage shows a Jibowu contact block at 13 Ikorodu Road, Jibowu, and the booking form offers a combined “Okota -> Alaba -> Jibowu” line. Jibowu is not on the terminals page.

That means Jibowu is either a newer office, a shared loading point, or an older entry someone forgot to remove. Call before you travel there. Do not build your plan around a park that appears on one page and not another.

Abuja and Kaduna are missing from the list

The terminals page has no Abuja or Kaduna terminal, yet fare guides quote Lagos to Abuja and Lagos to Kaduna tickets. The booking form’s departure menu is built around eastern and south-south routes.

If Abuja is your destination, put it in the destination field on your date and see what the site returns. If nothing comes up, Okeyson may run that route from a partner park, or the guides may be recycling an old figure. Our Lagos to Abuja bus guide and the bus against flight comparison show what other operators charge on that corridor.

Terminals outside Lagos

The same page lists 16 points outside Lagos, all reachable on the same customer care number.

Two Onitsha parks and two spellings of the same Enugu junction appear in the company’s own copy. Read your ticket before boarding, because an Onitsha old park departure and a new park departure are different buildings.

Luggage, children and house rules

These rules come from Okeyson’s terms and conditions, last updated October 20, 2025.

• Check-in closes 30 minutes before departure. Miss it and you may be moved to a later bus, subject to seats.
• Luggage. The terms page allows a medium bag of 30 x 22 x 15 inches per ticket. The weight is written as “xx kg”, an unfilled placeholder. The FAQ says 10 kg is the maximum, with extra weight charged. Ask customer care for the weight that applies to your route and get it in a message you can keep.
• Prohibited items. Plastic boxes, rice bags, gas cylinders, generators, fuel containers, building materials, agrochemicals and other hazardous goods are not carried. Send those through Okeyson Logistics instead, or buy an extra seat for an oversized item.
• Child fares. Children aged 2 to 10 get a 30% discount when the booking is made in the app. The child must travel with an adult, carry identification, and one adult may hold a maximum of three discounted child tickets per trip.
• Children aged 10 to 15 may travel unaccompanied if a parent signs the consent form at a terminal before the trip.
• No pets and no smoking, and tickets cannot be resold or transferred.

For the seat itself, our guide to choosing the best seat on a Nigerian bus explains which rows to avoid on a long run. If you are booking for a parent, read travelling with elderly parents before you choose a departure, and keep motion sickness prevention in mind for the eastern routes.

Refunds and cancellations: two official pages, two sets of rules

Okeyson publishes a refund and cancellation policy and a terms page. Both say they were last updated on October 20, 2025. They do not agree.

The full terms page sets out a sliding scale by days of notice. The refund page sets out a rule based on 12 hours and 24 hours. Both are still live, so a desk clerk could reasonably quote either one at you.

Protect yourself with two steps. Ask which page applies to your ticket, and ask for the answer as a screenshot, email or SMS. Then keep the booking reference, because every refund route starts with it.

Refunds go back to the original payment method within 7 to 10 working days. Cash refunds are only offered for tickets paid in cash at a terminal. If your card was debited without a ticket appearing, the terms tell you to raise it with your bank first, then send proof of any transfer to customer care. Never send card details by chat to anyone who calls you claiming to be from the company.

Who owns Okeyson Motors?

The company’s contact page answers this better than any blog does. It names Okeyson Investment Services Limited, operating as Okeyson Transports, and describes the business as passenger transport, logistics and charter services. The site footer carries “Okeyson Motors” as the trading name passengers use.

No individual owner or director is published on the site. Directory listings repeat the company name without naming a person. If a claim about ownership matters to a business decision you are making, check the Corporate Affairs Commission register rather than a blog.

Customer care: numbers, email and hours

Customer care is 0806 465 0704, Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The same number appears on every terminal entry on the terminals page, so expect it to be busy. Two terminal numbers are published separately: Cele on 0803 505 8961 or 0701 732 0789, and Enugu on 0803 859 0458 or 0803 894 4785.

For email, the site publishes two spellings that differ by one letter. The FAQ and homepage use the singular version. The refund policy and footer use the plural version, with an s. Send to the plural one, which appears on the newer policy pages, and keep the message in your sent folder as your record.

How Okeyson compares on the same corridor

The useful comparison is not the logo. It is whether you can see a price before you commit.

The pattern is the same everywhere. The operator with a working checkout shows you a fare. The operator without one leaves you asking a stranger on the phone. Start with our step by step guide to booking a Nigerian bus ticket online, then use the Okeyson steps above.

Six checks before you pay

1. Confirm the park for your route, by name and address.
2. Confirm the departure time, and whether a later same-day bus exists.
3. Confirm the fare for your date and bus class, in writing.
4. Confirm the luggage weight allowed, since the published pages disagree.
5. Confirm which cancellation rule applies to your ticket.
6. Save the ticket reference, the payment alert and the terminal number.

Do those six things and a fare difference or a missed bus becomes an inconvenience, not a loss.

Frequently asked questions

Is Okeyson Motors still operating in 2026?

Yes. The website and app were live on November 11, 2026, the terminals page lists 27 points in total, and customer care answers on 0806 465 0704 on weekdays. Expect route changes without notice, because the terms allow fare and schedule changes.

Does Okeyson have a night bus from Lagos?

No published night departure exists. The company publishes terminals and rules, not timetables, and no fare guide names a night departure from a Lagos park. Call the terminal for your date before you plan around one.

How much is Okeyson from Lagos to Onitsha?

Reported figures run from ₦25,000 to ₦41,500. The low end reflects park prices recorded during a fare reduction in January 2026. The high end comes from 2026 fare guides. Ask for the fare on your date.

Can I book online and travel the same day?

Yes, according to the company’s FAQ, as long as tickets remain for your route. Same-day travel is the weakest case for online booking, because a sold-out route leaves you at the park with no fallback. Our guide to booking against departure times covers the timing.

What is the luggage limit?

The FAQ says 10 kg. The terms page says a 30 x 22 x 15 inch bag but leaves the weight blank. Get the answer from customer care in writing for your route.

Can I get a refund if I cancel?

Yes, with a charge that depends on notice. The terms page charges 15% at three days, 20% at two days, 30% at one day, and 50% under 24 hours. The refund page says no refund under 12 hours and no refund for no-shows. Expect 7 to 10 working days for the money to return.

Where is the head office?

160 Okota Road, beside Slot by Cele Express, Cele, Lagos. That is also the Okota boarding park.

How we checked this article

We read Okeyson’s terminals, contact, FAQ, terms and refund pages on November 11, 2026, and compared seven independent fare guides published during 2026. We linked every source to the page we read. Where the company’s pages conflict, we reported both versions instead of choosing one. Where no source confirms a claim, such as a Lagos night departure or a fixed fare, we said so.

Fares on Nigerian routes move with fuel costs and demand. Treat every figure here as a dated estimate and confirm before you pay.
