From Oshodi/Mile 2/CMS

If you're coming from the central or western parts of Lagos like Oshodi, Mile 2, or CMS, your journey will be longer but straightforward. The most common approach is to first head to Ikorodu. From Oshodi, you can get a direct bus to Ikorodu. From Mile 2, buses to Ikorodu are also readily available. From CMS, you'd typically take a bus to either Oshodi or directly to Ikorodu, depending on availability. Once in Ikorodu, you can then follow the directions mentioned above to Agbowa Ikosi.

From Ajah/Lekki/Victoria Island

For those on the Island, particularly Ajah, Lekki, or Victoria Island, getting to Agbowa Ikosi can involve a bit of a loop, depending on traffic. One common way is to head towards Ikorodu via the Third Mainland Bridge and then Ikorodu Road, or through the Lekki-Epe Expressway and then connect to the Ikorodu-Epe Road. However, the most direct route (though sometimes challenging due to traffic) would be to take a bus or shared taxi heading towards Epe from Ajah, and then drop at Agbowa Ikosi, which is before Epe town.

Whichever route you choose, be prepared for typical Lagos traffic, especially during peak hours. Early morning travel is often recommended for a smoother journey.
