If you are planning to move to the Island part of Lagos or you just got a job around the Lekki axis, you have probably heard people mentioning "Awoyaya." Awoyaya is one of the fastest-growing residential areas along the Lekki-Epe Expressway. It is a place where many people who work in Victoria Island and Lekki Phase 1 choose to live because the house rents are more affordable compared to the inner city.
In this guide, we will break down everything you need to know about Awoyaya, including the local government it falls under, the popular landmarks you can use to identify the place, and how much it costs to "enter bus" to the area from different parts of Lagos State.
Awoyaya is located in the Ibeju-Lekki Local Government Area (LGA) of Lagos State. It is situated right along the busy Lekki-Epe Expressway. If you are coming from the Ajah axis, Awoyaya comes after Abijo and just before you get to Lakowe. The terrain is mostly flat, and the area is a mix of busy commercial spots and quiet residential estates.
When you are inside a bus or a taxi, you need to know where to "drop." Here are the most popular landmarks in Awoyaya:
To get to Awoyaya, your main target is the Lekki-Epe Expressway. If you are coming from the Mainland (like Ikeja or Oshodi), you first need to get to CMS, Obalende, or Ajah. From Ajah, Awoyaya is just a straight drive down the road.
Please note that transport fares in Lagos can change depending on the time of day, the weather (rain), and the "hold-up" (traffic). Below is a table showing the estimated fare ranges to Awoyaya.
| Route | Transport Mode | Fare Range (₦) |
|---|---|---|
| Ajah Underbridge to Awoyaya |

If you want to have a smooth journey to Awoyaya, these are the best places to board a vehicle:
1. Watch the Traffic: The Lekki-Epe road can have heavy traffic in the evenings (from 4 PM to 9 PM). If you are going towards Awoyaya during this time, be prepared to spend more time on the road.
2. Hold Your Change: Lagos bus conductors usually "tie" passengers together if they don't have small change. Try to carry ₦100 and ₦200 notes.
3. Identify Your Bus Stop: Before the bus reaches Awoyaya, start telling the conductor you want to drop. Use landmarks like "Greensprings" or "Mayfair" for better clarity.
Awoyaya is located under the Ibeju-Lekki Local Government Area of Lagos State.
It is not too far. Without traffic, it takes about 15 to 20 minutes to drive from Ajah to Awoyaya. However, traffic can make it longer.
Yes, ride-hailing services like Bolt, Uber, and InDrive operate in Awoyaya, although it might take a few minutes longer to find a driver compared to central Lekki.
