Nigeria Lady Pelumi Nubi is planning a road trip from London to Lagos, which will take around six and a half hours via direct aircraft.
A Peugeot 107 has been customised for Pelumi’s journey, and it includes sleeping and dining areas.
Preparations for the extensive expedition across Europe to West Africa have been meticulous with safety being a top priority.
Pelumi stated that she had done excellent preparation for the journey by chatting with people who have taken similar travels, researching rules, costs, and the safest path, among other things.
