Akodo is Under Which Local Government in Lagos – LGA, Direction & More

From Mainland Lagos (Ikeja, Oshodi, Berger)

From mainland areas, your first step is usually to get to a major park that has vehicles heading towards the Lekki-Epe axis. Popular options include Ojota, Oshodi, or CMS.

• **Route:** From Ikeja, you can enter a bus going to CMS or Oshodi. From Oshodi, find a bus going to Ajah or direct to Epe. If going to Ajah, you'll then transfer to a bus heading to Epe/Akodo. If you find a direct bus to Epe, make sure to tell the driver or conductor you are dropping at Akodo.
• **Landmarks:** From Ojota or Berger, you can get a bus heading towards Ajah. Once in Ajah, follow the same directions as from Lagos Island, continuing on the Lekki-Epe Expressway.

From Ajah/Lekki Axis

If you're already in Ajah or anywhere along the Lekki corridor, your journey to Akodo is much shorter and more direct.

• **Route:** Simply find a bus or shared taxi (popularly called "Korope" or "Keke Marwa" for shorter distances, or larger buses for longer) heading towards Epe. Akodo is a well-known stop along this route.
• **Landmarks:** You will pass Eleko Beach Road junction, and Akodo will be shortly after. Look out for signposts and listen for the conductor calling out stops.
