Moving from Agungi to Lekki Phase 1 is a straightforward journey along the Lekki-Epe Expressway. While the distance is relatively short, heavy traffic during rush hours can significantly increase travel time. Commuters can choose between local yellow buses (Danfos), corporate ride-sharing buses, or ride-hailing cars depending on their budget and comfort preference.

Walk or take a short Keke ride out of Agungi Estate to the Agungi Bus Stop on the main expressway.
Board a yellow Danfo bus heading towards CMS, Obalende, or Victoria Island.
Tell the bus conductor you will 'drop' at Lekki Phase 1 Gate or Marwa Bus Stop.
Cross the road safely or take a local Keke/Shuttle bus inside Lekki Phase 1 to your final street destination.
Always hold your change (lower denominations) before you enter the Danfo to avoid 'change sharing' issues with conductors.
Keep your phones and wallets inside your bag safely, especially when boarding or dropping at Marwa bus stop.
Look out for buses carrying CMS or Obalende passengers; they move faster than short-distance shuttles.
If you are traveling after 8:00 PM, try to board buses that are full of passengers rather than half-empty ones.

Bypass the Ikeja Under-Bridge corridor from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM. Traffic builds rapidly due to commercial buses loading along the main road lanes.
Areas Affected
Lekki-Epe Expressway
Because of recent fuel price increases, the fare is no longer fixed. By public Danfo bus, expect to spend between ₦900 and ₦1,500 in total. If you choose a ride-hailing car, it will cost between ₦3,500 and ₦6,500 depending on traffic surge.
Without traffic, the drive takes only 15 to 20 minutes. However, during morning peak hours (7:00 AM - 9:30 AM), heavy gridlock at Jakande and Igbo Efon can extend the travel time to 45 minutes or even 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Yes. The Lekki-Epe Expressway around Jakande and Igbo Efon suffers from severe flash flooding during the rainy season. This flooding causes heavy traffic jams and pushes transport fares up significantly.
No. Most commercial Danfo buses stay on the main Lekki-Epe Expressway heading towards CMS or Obalende. You must drop at the Lekki Phase 1 Gate or Marwa Bus Stop, then take a local shuttle or Keke to go inside the estate.
