From Adeola Odeku Street, walk a short distance or take a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) to the Eko Hotel Roundabout or a major bus stop on Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue. Look for a 'Danfo' (yellow bus) heading towards 'Lekki Phase 1' or 'Ikate'.
Board the Danfo and alight at the bus stop closest to Lekki Phase 1 Gate or Ikate Roundabout. This leg of the journey will take you along Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue and Lekki-Epe Expressway.
From Lekki Phase 1 Gate or Ikate Roundabout, you will need to find another 'Keke Napep' or a short-trip Danfo that goes into Lekki Phase 2. Confirm with the driver that they are going to 'Lekki Phase 2' or 'Ahmad Tijani Otton Street'.
Alight at your specific destination within Lekki Phase 2, ideally along Ahmad Tijani Otton Street.
Always confirm your destination and fare with the bus conductor ('agbero') before boarding to avoid disputes.
Avoid peak hours if possible, as fares can increase due to demand and travel time will be much longer.
Keep small denominations of cash ready, as conductors may not always have change for large notes.
Be aware of your belongings, especially in crowded buses and bus stops. Hold your bags close.
While major roads are generally busy, it's advisable to be cautious when traveling at night. Stick to well-lit areas and avoid isolated bus stops. If possible, travel in groups. 'One-chance' incidents, where criminals pose as public transport operators, are more common in less crowded buses or Keke Napeps late at night. Trust your instincts; if a vehicle feels off, do not board.
LASTMA (Lagos State Traffic Management Authority) and VIO (Vehicle Inspection Officers) are frequently seen around major junctions like Eko Hotel Roundabout, 1004 Estate, and along Lekki-Epe Expressway, especially near toll gates and U-turn points. They enforce traffic laws, so ensure your chosen vehicle adheres to rules. Their presence can sometimes cause minor delays but helps manage traffic flow.
For public transport, the main corridor (Ozumba Mbadiwe/Lekki-Epe Expressway) is the most direct. If traffic is exceptionally bad on the main road, some private drivers might attempt inner roads within Lekki Phase 1 (like Fola Osibo or Freedom Way) to cut through, but these are often residential and can add time due to smaller roads and speed limits. For public transport, sticking to the BRT lane (if available for your route) is generally your best bet against heavy traffic.
The 10-minute travel time is for ideal, zero-traffic conditions, which are rare in Lagos. In reality, during peak hours, heavy rain, or unexpected incidents, the journey can take anywhere from 30 minutes to over an hour. Always factor in potential delays, especially if you have a scheduled appointment.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) and late evenings (after 8:00 PM) are best to avoid heavy traffic. Mid-day (11:00 AM - 2:00 PM) can also be less congested. Avoid peak hours: 6:30 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:30 PM, when travel times can easily triple.
Safety Rating
Medium. During the day, the route is generally safe for public transport. However, 'one-chance' syndicates can operate, especially in less crowded buses or late evenings. Always be aware of your surroundings and avoid displaying valuables openly. Evening travel requires extra caution, especially at bus stops that are not well-lit or busy.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available along the Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue and Lekki-Epe Expressway corridor, offering a dedicated lane for faster travel. There is no rail service for this specific route.
