Geographic Overview of Bogije

Bogije is located in the Ibeju-Lekki Local Government Area (LGA) of Lagos State. It sits perfectly along the Lekki-Epe Expressway.

If you reach Lakowe or Eleko Junction, you have gone past Bogije.

The terrain in Bogije is mostly flat, though some parts are prone to being swampy during the heavy rainy season, which is common in the Ibeju-Lekki axis. However, many developed estates in the area have good drainage systems. It is bordered by Awoyaya to the west and Lakowe to the east.

How to Get to Bogije: Route Breakdown
