Hey MungoP
The best place nearby for use in the Makurdi area is Enugu. Nice big runway, good facilities, and a Protea Hotel run by a South African there... great place to stay.... just an absolutely useless pair of ATC's there... Operated out of there for three months.
Hope it helps

Something fishy?

"This follows the army's seizure of a truckload of jet fuel in a forest outside the city of Buba on Thursday."
"The fuel found near Buba was enough to fill a mid-sized Gulfstream jet tank twice."

Mungo,
Last time I was in Jalingo and Enugu I had to arrange my own fuel in drums. Zaz can probably find out from his fixed wing friends, or the other way would be just to phone the airport and ask. The numbers are available in the Nigerian AIP.
