Ten years, one trunk

The business has changed shape four times and never changed what it was rooted in. Each version was built out of what the last one could not do.

2016E-commerce

An online grocery store, built out of a faulty tab. Selling the food was the easy part — taking the money for it, and moving it, turned out to be the business.

2018OjirehPrime Card

A prepaid card. The first time the company issued rather than resold, and the first time it carried the obligations that come with holding somebody else’s money.

2020Microfinance bank

PrymeSolid Allianze acquired — an existing bank with an existing licence. The perimeter stopped being someone else’s to draw.

2023Multicurrency

More than one currency on one balance, and the rebrand to Pryme. A Nigerian business could hold dollars without holding a second institution.

2026Agentic operations

Accounts that do the work rather than only hold value. Five agents on the account, inside a policy you write — which is where the new mark starts.

Questions

The things people ask us first.

What is Pryme?

Pryme is a financial technology company. It gives people and businesses in Nigeria one account that holds Naira alongside dollars, pounds and euros, and a set of agents that do the running of it — keeping the books, chasing what is owed, answering customers and paying bills. Nothing leaves an account without the owner’s approval.

Can I hold dollars, pounds and euros in a Pryme account?

Yes. A Pryme account holds Naira, US dollars, pounds sterling and euros side by side on one ledger, each with its own account details — a Nigerian account number, a US account number, a UK sort code and an IBAN for the euro area. You can swap between them at a rate you set, and every currency has its own statement.

What is Spaces?

Spaces is available in Nigeria. It gives a shopper money to spend that can only be spent with a participating business. The business is paid into its Naira account whether or not the shopper repays, because Pryme carries the credit. For the business it is free to join, there is nothing monthly, and the customer’s identity is never shown — only a reference and what it is worth.

What do the agents on a Pryme Business Account do?

Five agents come with the account. The Chief of Staff runs the week and keeps what is stuck moving. Finance watches the money and keeps the books as you trade. Compliance keeps the filings on time and screens what moves. Sales chases what you are owed. Customer Support answers your customers and follows up. Each has a job description, a budget and a ceiling you set, and each one proposes rather than acts — nothing leaves the account without your signature.

How does Pryme Pay work?

Pryme Pay takes payments on your own site or on a checkout page you control. The buyer is given a one-time account number and transfers to it from any bank app or by USSD — no card, no OTP, nothing to type in. The money lands in the same account your agents are running, already matched to the order and already in your books.

What are Savings Boxes?

Savings Boxes are separate pots inside a Pryme account, held in Naira. Flexible Boxes can be withdrawn at any time, Fixed Boxes hold to a date, Investment Boxes hold for longer, and Interest-free Boxes earn nothing by design. A business can use them to ring-fence payroll and the tax it withholds, so that money cannot be spent by accident.

Who holds my money, and is it protected?

Pryme is a financial technology company, not a bank. Accounts and deposits are provided by Solid Allianze Microfinance Bank Limited, which is licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria and is a member of the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Can I build on Pryme?

Yes. Pryme Rails lets a platform issue a dedicated Naira account number to each of its own customers, collect into it and reconcile against it, over one API — the same rails the Pryme Business Account runs on.

What is Pryme?

Pryme is a financial technology company. It gives you one account that holds US dollars, pounds sterling and euros beside Naira, with an assistant that runs the account for you and asks before anything moves. Accounts are provided in Nigeria today, and further markets open as each licence lands.

Can I open a Pryme account from outside Nigeria?

Accounts are provided in Nigeria today, subject to verification and approval. Foreign-currency balances are held and converted inside that account, so you can hold, receive and swap dollars, pounds and euros wherever you are.

Which currencies can I hold with Pryme?

Naira, US dollars, pounds sterling and euros, side by side on one ledger. Each has its own details — a Nigerian account number, a US account number, a UK sort code and an IBAN for the euro area — and each has its own statement.

How do I send money to Nigeria with Pryme?

Swap at a rate you set rather than the rate of the day, then send to any Pryme username or to a Nigerian bank account. There is no fee to send to another Pryme account.

What does the assistant do?

Eva is the assistant inside the Pryme app. She opens accounts, moves money, saves toward your goals, pays what is due and follows up what is owed to you — and asks you before anything moves.

What is Pryme Rails?

Pryme Rails lets a platform issue a dedicated Naira account number to each of its own customers, collect into it and reconcile against it, over one API — the same rails the Pryme Business Account runs on.

Transport in Makurdi: keke, okada and bus fares explained

Getting around Makurdi: labelled keke, okada and bus fares, a monthly commute example, and what trips to Abuja, Enugu and Jos cost.

PE
Pryme editorialCities desk, Makurdi · 19 Oct 2026 · 4 min read
The short answer

Most short trips in Makurdi are by keke (tricycle) or okada, with buses and shared cabs on longer routes; fares are negotiated or set by custom, not published by the state. National NBS averages for May 2026 were ₦1,431.25 for a city bus trip and ₦9,699.55 for an intercity bus trip, and Benue's petrol price, which drives local fares, was among the highest in the country that month.

How Makurdi moves

Makurdi is split by the Benue River, with North Bank on one side and the main town, including High Level, Wurukum and Wadata, on the other. Bridges link them, so any trip across the river takes longer and costs more than a hop within one side. The main options are:

  • Keke (tricycle): the everyday choice for short and medium trips, shared with other passengers on a route or chartered ("drop").
  • Okada (motorcycle): faster in traffic and on rough roads, usually more expensive per trip than a shared keke and riskier.
  • Shared cabs and buses: on longer routes and between the town centre and outer areas.
  • Intercity buses: from motor parks for Abuja, Enugu, Jos, Lafia and other cities.

Benue State does not publish an official fare table for Makurdi, and fares rise with fuel prices, rain and festive periods. Always agree the fare before you board.

What the official numbers say

NBS measure (national average)February 2026May 2026
Bus journey within a city₦1,195.75₦1,431.25
Okada trip₦920.95₦1,072.51
Intercity bus journey₦8,108.81₦9,699.55

Sources: NBS Transport Fare Watch as reported by The Guardian (February 2026) and Nairametrics (May 2026). Intercity fares rose by about 19.6% between February and May 2026 ((9,699.55 − 8,108.81) ÷ 8,108.81). Fuel is the main driver: NBS data for May 2026 put Benue's average petrol price at ₦1,698.57 a litre, third highest among states, as reported by Legit.ng.

Example fares within Makurdi

These are illustrative examples for planning, not quoted prices. Shared keke fares are usually lower than the NBS city averages, which include longer bus journeys; chartered trips cost more.

Trip (illustrative)Shared kekeOkadaChartered keke
Short hop within High Level or Wurukum₦200 to ₦300₦300 to ₦500₦800 to ₦1,200
High Level to Wurukum₦300 to ₦400₦500 to ₦700₦1,000 to ₦1,500
Wurukum to North Bank (across the river)₦400 to ₦600₦700 to ₦1,000₦1,500 to ₦2,500
Town centre to the university areas₦300 to ₦500₦500 to ₦800₦1,200 to ₦2,000

A monthly commute: worked example

Illustrative example: Aondona lives in North Bank and works in High Level. He takes a shared keke to a connecting point and a second keke on to work, 22 working days a month.

LineAmount
Morning: two shared keke legs (₦400 + ₦300)₦700
Evening: same in reverse₦700
Daily total₦1,400
Monthly (22 days)₦30,800
Add: two okada trips a week when late (₦800 × 8)₦6,400
Monthly transport₦37,200

Check: 700 × 2 = 1,400; 1,400 × 22 = 30,800; 30,800 + 6,400 = 37,200. Moving closer to work, or sharing a chartered keke with colleagues, can cut this sharply. See the Makurdi rent guide by area to weigh rent against transport.

Leaving Makurdi: Abuja, Enugu and Jos

Intercity buses leave from Makurdi motor parks for Abuja, Enugu, Jos and other cities. Fares vary by operator, vehicle and season, and rise before Christmas, Easter and Sallah. As a guide, the NBS national average for an intercity bus trip was ₦9,699.55 in May 2026.

Route (illustrative)Example bus fare one wayNote
Makurdi to Abuja₦12,000 to ₦18,000Check operator and departure time
Makurdi to Enugu₦10,000 to ₦15,000Ask about luggage charges
Makurdi to Jos₦10,000 to ₦16,000Fewer departures late in the day
  • Book with registered transport companies at recognised parks and keep the ticket.
  • Travel by day where you can, and check road conditions in the rainy season, when some routes flood.
  • Ask whether the fare includes luggage; heavy loads such as foodstuff are often charged extra.

Safety on okada and keke

Okada is quick but carries the highest injury risk of any option. If you use one, ask for a helmet, avoid riding in heavy rain, and do not let the rider carry more than one passenger. On keke, note the vehicle number before you board at night and share it with someone. Keep your phone and bag on the side away from the road, as snatch theft is commonly reported in busy parts of Nigerian cities.

Some state and local governments restrict okada on certain roads or at night. Check current rules in Makurdi with the state transport authorities, as restrictions change.

Saving on transport

  • Use shared keke rather than chartered drops for routine trips.
  • Group errands into one trip a week, especially across the river.
  • Agree fares before boarding, and carry small notes or use transfer where the rider accepts it.
  • Read how to budget for transport costs for a full method.

Where Pryme fits

A Pryme Personal Account lets you set a weekly transport amount aside in a Flexible Savings Box and track what you spend, and a Personal Assistant can remind you when it runs low. Loans on Spaces, which includes transport merchants, is not offered in Makurdi at present, because Spaces operates in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt.

Questions people ask

How much is keke fare in Makurdi?

There is no official table. In our illustrative examples a shared keke hop within one area costs ₦200 to ₦300 and crossing to North Bank ₦400 to ₦600. Agree the fare before boarding.

How much is transport from Makurdi to Abuja?

It varies by operator and season. Our illustrative range is ₦12,000 to ₦18,000 one way; the NBS national average for an intercity bus trip was ₦9,699.55 in May 2026.

Why are transport fares high in Makurdi?

Fuel is the main cost. NBS data for May 2026 put Benue's average petrol price at ₦1,698.57 a litre, among the highest of any state.

How much should I budget for transport monthly in Makurdi?

Our worked example for a North Bank to High Level commute comes to ₦37,200 a month. Living nearer work or sharing chartered trips lowers it.
