Traveling from Abule Oja, a vibrant area near UNILAG, to Sanusi Fafunwa in Victoria Island involves navigating Lagos's bustling public transport system. This journey typically requires at least two transfers, often using a combination of 'Danfo' (yellow commercial buses) and 'BRT' (Bus Rapid Transit) services. Expect varying travel times due to Lagos traffic.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid peak hour traffic. Late afternoons (after 7:00 PM) can also be less congested, but safety concerns increase after dark.
Safety Rating
Medium. While public transport is generally safe, always be aware of your surroundings. Avoid displaying valuables openly. 'One-chance' incidents (where passengers are robbed by criminals posing as public transport operators) are rare but possible; use recognized bus stops and look for buses with other passengers. Evening travel on less crowded routes requires extra caution.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT services are available for a significant portion of this route, specifically from Yaba to CMS/TBS. There is no direct rail service for this intra-Lagos route.

Walk to the nearest 'Abule Oja' bus stop, usually near the UNILAG gate or along Herbert Macaulay Way.
Take a 'Danfo' bus heading towards 'Yaba' or 'Oyingbo'. Confirm with the conductor.
At Yaba or Oyingbo, alight and look for another 'Danfo' bus heading to 'Obalende' or 'CMS'. Obalende is a major hub for buses going into Victoria Island.
From Obalende or CMS, find a 'Danfo' bus or a smaller local bus ('Korope') specifically going into Victoria Island, mentioning 'Sanusi Fafunwa' or a nearby landmark like 'Eko Hotel Roundabout' or 'Adeola Odeku'. You might need to ask around for the right bus. If no direct bus is available, take one heading generally into VI and then use a 'Keke' for the final stretch.
Always carry small denominations of Naira for bus fares.
Be vocal about your destination to conductors to ensure you're on the right bus.
Keep an eye on your belongings, especially in crowded buses and bus stops.
For 'Danfo' buses and 'Keke', you pay the conductor in cash, usually after the journey starts or when you alight. For BRT buses, you must use a 'Cowry Card', which can be purchased and topped up at any BRT terminal.
Generally, yes, but exercise caution. Avoid isolated areas, especially at night. Keep your phone charged and be aware of your surroundings. Stick to well-lit, busy routes and recognized public transport options.
Don't panic. Ask for directions from vendors, shop owners, or other passengers. Most Lagosians are helpful. You can also use offline maps on your phone if you have them.
'Okada' are restricted on many major roads in Lagos, especially on the Island and expressways like the Third Mainland Bridge. While they might be available for very short distances off main roads, they are not a reliable or legal option for the main part of this journey.
