From Benue to the International Stage

Nick Agule, a proud Benue son whose story reminds us that true greatness can rise from home. Born at Mkar Christian Hospital, Gboko, Nick began his early education in Gboko before attending Government College, Makurdi, and later earning a degree in Accounting from the University of Benin. He also holds an MBA, a BA in Theology from St. Mary’s University, London, and is a Fellow of ICAN.

After completing his studies, Nick began his professional journey as a lecturer at the University of Benin, where he taught Financial Accounting, Cost and Management Accounting, and Financial Management. It is safe to infer that his time in academia helped hone his analytical skills and deepened his passion for excellence, qualities that would later define his career in the corporate world.

Knack for Excellence

Nick did make his way into the oil and gas industry, excelling both in Nigeria and abroad…True Gboko blood.

Nick later made his way into the oil and gas industry, excelling both in Nigeria and abroad. From Chevron Nigeria Limited to Shell Petroleum Development Company, where he served as Head of Joint Venture Accounting and Reporting team for Shell in Nigeria, and later at BP London, Nick’s expertise and leadership earned him global recognition. His work helped shape major financial and technology systems that strengthened operations across continents.

Today, he continues to build beyond borders. As the founder of Victoria Travels, he has redefined road transport in Benue with unmatched comfort, safety, and professionalism, a company that truly operates at a world-class standard.

If you’re in Benue or Abuja and often travel between Makurdi and Abuja, I highly recommend Victoria Travels — trust me, your comfort and safety are guaranteed in a way and manner tongue and pen can’t rightly explain.

Nobody would say they had a dealing with me and they went away short-changed or it did not happen the way it was agreed.
