From Ajao Estate, take a 'Danfo' bus or 'Keke NAPEP' going towards Oshodi. You will likely depart from a stop near Lateef Salami Street or International Airport Road.
At Oshodi Underbridge, locate buses going to Obalende or CMS. Board one of these buses. They will typically pass through Agege Motor Road, Herbert Macaulay Way, and then onto Third Mainland Bridge.
From Obalende or CMS, find a bus heading to Lekki Phase 1 (often terminating around the Lekki Phase 1 gate or Admiralty Way).
At Lekki Phase 1, take a 'Keke NAPEP' or a local mini-bus (often called 'Korope') that goes further into Lekki Phase 2. Confirm with the driver if they are going to Ahmad Tijani Otton Street or a nearby landmark in Lekki Phase 2.
Always have small denominations (₦50, ₦100, ₦200) for bus fares, as drivers sometimes claim not to have change.
Be prepared for crowded buses, especially during peak hours. Keep your belongings secure.
If a bus is not going directly to your desired stop, you can sometimes take a 'short-trip' bus to a major junction and then another to your destination, which might be faster than waiting for a direct bus.
During peak hours (morning and evening weekdays), the journey can easily take 1.5 to 3 hours, sometimes even more, depending on the severity of traffic at hotspots like Oshodi, Third Mainland Bridge, and Lekki Phase 1.
It is generally not advisable to travel alone using public transport late at night in Lagos, especially for long distances. If unavoidable, stick to well-lit, busy routes and major bus stops. Always inform someone of your route and estimated arrival time.
'Danfo' is a popular yellow commercial minibus in Lagos, used for intra-city travel. 'Keke NAPEP' is a motorized tricycle, commonly used for shorter distances within estates or local areas where larger buses might not go.
It is highly unlikely to find a single direct bus from Ajao Estate all the way to Lekki Phase 2. You will almost certainly need to make multiple transfers, as outlined in the route options.

Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
To avoid heavy traffic, the best times to travel are very early mornings (before 6:00 AM), late mornings (after 9:30 AM), or mid-afternoons (between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM). Avoid peak hours, which are typically 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM on weekdays, as travel time can easily double or triple.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, evening travel, especially on less crowded routes or isolated bus stops, carries a risk of 'one-chance' operations (robberies). Pickpocketing can occur in crowded buses and terminals. Always be alert and avoid displaying valuables. Road safety can also be a concern due to reckless driving by some commercial drivers.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available from Oshodi to CMS/TBS, which can be integrated into your journey. There is no direct rail service for this specific route.
