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

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 Ado-Ekiti: okada, cab and bus fares explained

How okada, shared taxis, chartered cabs and buses work in Ado-Ekiti, illustrative fares, a monthly commute example and trips to Akure and Lagos.

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

Ado-Ekiti runs mainly on okada, shared taxis on fixed routes, chartered cabs and buses, and fares are negotiated or set by drivers rather than published. In our illustrative example, a commuter using a shared taxi and an okada each way spends about ₦30,800 a month; fares rise and fall with petrol, which the NBS put at ₦1,596.25 a litre in May 2026.

How people get around Ado-Ekiti

Ado-Ekiti is compact enough that most daily trips are short, and the city runs mainly on motorcycles (okada), shared taxis on set routes, chartered cabs and minibuses, with private cars for those who have them. Ride-hailing apps operate in some Nigerian cities, but their coverage in Ado-Ekiti varies, so check the app before relying on it. Fares are not published by any authority we could find; they are set by drivers and riders, rise when fuel prices rise and are negotiated on the spot for anything off a fixed route. Every fare in this guide is therefore an illustrative example, chosen to show how the modes compare, not a price list.

The modes, compared

Okada

Okada riders are the quickest way to cover short distances and reach streets that cabs do not serve. Agree the fare before you get on. Riders commonly ask more for heavy loads, rain, hills or late-night trips, so mention any of these before you set off rather than arguing at the end. Ask for a helmet, avoid overloaded bikes and do not ride at night on unlit roads if you can avoid it.

Shared taxis on fixed routes

Shared cabs that run up and down main roads and pick up passengers along the way are commonly the cheapest way to cross town if your trip follows a route. You pay a set drop fare for the stretch you ride, which drivers usually state when you board.

Chartered cab ("drop")

Chartering a cab for yourself takes you door to door. It costs several times a shared seat and is negotiated, so agree the fare and any waiting time before setting off.

Minibuses and intercity buses

For trips to other Ekiti towns, such as Ikere, Ikole or Ijero, and to other states, minibuses and buses leave from motor parks. Fares depend on distance, fuel and the operator; larger transport companies display their fares at the booking desk.

Example fares

Trip (illustrative)Example fare
Okada, short trip within a neighbourhood₦300 to ₦700
Shared taxi, one drop on a main route₦200 to ₦400
Chartered cab across town₦1,500 to ₦3,000
Ado-Ekiti to Akure, bus₦2,500 to ₦4,000
Ado-Ekiti to Ibadan, bus₦7,000 to ₦10,000
Ado-Ekiti to Lagos, bus₦12,000 to ₦18,000

These figures are examples only. Ask at the motor park or the transport company's desk for the current fare before you travel, and expect higher fares around festive periods. Our guide to seasons that move prices explains the timing.

Why fares move: fuel

Fuel is the biggest cost for most drivers, so fares follow pump prices. The National Bureau of Statistics reported an average retail petrol price of ₦1,596.25 a litre in May 2026, as reported by Legit.ng, compared with ₦1,184.83 in its October 2024 price watch, a rise of about 35%. The NBS's October 2024 diesel price watch put Ekiti's average diesel price at ₦1,278.65 a litre, among the lowest of any state that month; diesel matters for some larger vehicles and generators. Check the latest NBS price watch for current figures, because fares adjust when pump prices change.

A monthly commuting example

Take an example worker who takes a shared taxi for most of the trip and an okada for the last stretch, each way, on 22 working days a month. At ₦300 for the shared taxi and ₦400 for the okada each way, the daily cost is ₦1,400 and the monthly cost ₦30,800. If the same worker chartered a cab at ₦1,500 each way instead, the month would cost ₦66,000, more than twice as much.

  • Choosing housing on a shared-taxi route can save more than haggling over each fare.
  • Travelling slightly outside rush hours often means shorter waits and fewer surcharges.
  • Walking the first or last few hundred metres can remove an okada fare each day.

Our national guide to budgeting for transport costs shows how to set a monthly limit.

Owning a car changes the sums. As an example, a car using 30 litres of petrol a week at the May 2026 national average of ₦1,596.25 a litre spends ₦47,887.50 a week on fuel, or ₦191,550 over four weeks, before servicing, insurance, parking and repairs. For many people in a city of short trips, public transport plus the occasional charter remains cheaper than running a car.

What to check first

  1. Agree any negotiated fare before the trip starts.
  2. Use registered motor parks or transport company terminals for intercity trips.
  3. Keep small notes or pay by transfer where drivers accept it, so you are not overcharged for lack of change.
  4. Share your trip details with someone when travelling at night or out of town.

Where Pryme fits

Transport is easier to control when you can see it. A Personal Assistant can track your monthly transport spend and remind you of trips you plan, and a Flexible Savings Box can hold money for a December trip home. For the wider picture, see our guide to first-month costs in Ado-Ekiti.

Questions people ask

How much is okada fare in Ado-Ekiti?

There is no published fare. In our illustrative examples, a short trip within a neighbourhood costs ₦300 to ₦700. Agree the fare before getting on.

How much is transport from Ado-Ekiti to Lagos?

It depends on the operator and fuel prices. Our illustrative range is ₦12,000 to ₦18,000 by bus; check the current fare at the motor park or company desk.

How much is Ado-Ekiti to Akure by bus?

Our illustrative example is ₦2,500 to ₦4,000. Fares change with fuel prices, so confirm at the park before travelling.

Why do transport fares keep rising in Nigeria?

Fuel is the main cost for drivers. The NBS reported average petrol at ₦1,596.25 a litre in May 2026, up from ₦1,184.83 in October 2024, and fares follow pump prices.
