If you are living in Lagos or planning to visit the Island, you must have heard about Chevron Drive. It is one of the most popular and high-brow locations along the Lekki-Epe Expressway. Known primarily for housing the massive headquarters of Chevron Nigeria Limited, this area has grown from just a corporate hub into a busy residential and commercial zone.
Whether you are going there for a job interview, visiting a friend in one of the many estates, or just exploring the Lekki axis, knowing how to navigate Chevron Drive is very important. In this guide, we will break down the location, the local government it falls under, and how much you should expect to pay for transport from major parts of Lagos.
Chevron Drive is located in the Eti-Osa Local Government Area (LGA) of Lagos State. It is situated specifically within the Lekki Peninsula, between the Jakande/Agungi axis and the VGC/Ajah axis. If you are driving from Victoria Island, it is shortly after the second toll gate (though the toll is no longer active for payment, the structure is still a major landmark).
The terrain is typical of the Lekki corridorβmostly flat but prone to some flash floods during heavy rainy seasons, although the internal drainage within Chevron Drive itself is better than many surrounding areas. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean towards the south and the Lagos Lagoon towards the north. Nearby popular areas include Orchid Road, Northpointe Estate, and the Lekki Conservation Centre.
Knowing the landmarks will help you so you don't "miss your stop" when you enter a bus. Here are the most popular spots:
Getting to Chevron Drive is quite straightforward because it is located directly on the Lekki-Epe Expressway. Here is how to get there from common locations:
Go to the CMS park or Obalende motor park. Look for a big bus (LT) or a small bus (Korope) going to Ajah. Tell the conductor you will "drop" at Chevron Bus Stop. Once you drop, you can walk into Chevron Drive or take a local shuttle/Keke if you are going deep inside.
Get verified bus fares, travel times, and street-level directions for any journey across Nigeria. Don't travel blind!
At Oshodi Underbridge or the Terminal, look for buses heading to Ajah. These buses usually pass through Gbagada and the Third Mainland Bridge. Again, tell them you are dropping at Chevron. This is a long journey, so try to enter a bus with "straight" movement to avoid multiple stops.
If you are coming from Ajah, enter any bus going to Lekki Phase 1, CMS, or Obalende. Chevron is very close to Ajah; it is just a few minutes' drive after VGC and the Eleganza bus stop.
Transport fares in Lagos change depending on the time of day (rush hour) and the weather. Below is a guide to what you might spend:
| Route | Transport Mode | Fare Range (β¦) |
|---|---|---|
| CMS to Chevron Bus Stop | Minibus (Korope) / Danfo | β¦800 - β¦1,200 |
| Oshodi to Chevron Bus Stop | Big Bus (LT) / Danfo | β¦1,200 - β¦1,800 |
| Ajah to Chevron Bus Stop | Small Bus (Korope) | β¦300 - β¦500 |
| Ikeja to Chevron Bus Stop | Coaster Bus / Danfo | β¦1,500 - β¦2,200 |
| Chevron Bus Stop to Inside the Drive | Shuttle / Keke | β¦200 - β¦400 |
1. Avoid "One-Chance": Only enter buses at designated parks. If a car looks suspicious or the passengers are all men looking at you strangely, wait for another bus.
2. Hold Your Change: Lagos conductors can be difficult. Try to have "smaller denominations" (β¦100, β¦200, β¦500) so you don't have issues with "balance."
3. Mind the Traffic: The Lekki-Epe Expressway is famous for traffic, especially at the Jakande and Chevron intersections. If you have an appointment for 9:00 AM, try to leave home very early.
Chevron Drive is under the Eti-Osa Local Government Area (LGA) in Lagos.
Enter a bus going to Ajah from CMS, Oshodi, or Ikeja and tell the conductor you will drop at Chevron Bus Stop.
It is both. It houses the Chevron Nigeria headquarters and many residential estates like Northern Foreshore and others.
