Moving from Alausa to Akowonjo means travelling from the heart of the Lagos State Secretariat area down to the busy residential and commercial hub of Akowonjo near Egbeda. While the distance is not too long, the journey crosses major choke points like Ikeja Under-Bridge and Agege Motor Road. Depending on the time of day, this trip can take anywhere from 35 minutes to nearly two hours. This guide breaks down the easiest, cheapest, and most reliable ways to make the trip using local commercial buses, alternative connections, or ride-hailing services.
Distance
14.5 km
Duration
1h 15m
Showing the primary/fastest route plan
Walk out from Alausa Secretariat or the shopping mall area to the main road at Alausa Bus Stop, and board a short-distance Danfo bus or Keke going to Ikeja Under-Bridge.
Drop at Ikeja Under-Bridge, walk past the market area towards the flyover, and find the specific park where buses load passengers directly for Akowonjo or Egbeda.
Board a direct Danfo bus heading towards Egbeda but inform the conductor clearly that you will drop at Akowonjo Roundabout or your specific junction along Akowonjo Road.
Drop at Akowonjo Roundabout. If your final house or office is deeper inside the street, board a final short Keke or local motorcycle (Okada) to drop you right at your gate.

Best Time to Travel
To beat the heavy Lagos traffic, the best time to leave Alausa in the morning is between 10:00 AM and 3:30 PM. If you are moving in the evening, try to leave before 4:30 PM or wait until after 8:30 PM when the severe gridlock around Ikeja and the expressway has reduced.
Safety Rating
Medium - The route is generally safe during the day because it is very busy and crowded. However, you must be very careful around Ikeja Under-Bridge and Computer Village. Pickpockets operate heavily in these areas, especially in the evening. Keep your phones and wallets safe inside your bags, and avoid holding cash in the open. Late at night, standard street lighting is poor, so do not walk alone in isolated corners around Akowonjo Roundabout.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT bus corridor or Lagos Rail Mass Transit line that connects Alausa directly to Akowonjo. However, you can use the standard Red Line rail or BRT buses to get to Ikeja first, then switch to local commercial buses (Danfo) or tricycles (Keke) to complete your journey to Akowonjo.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
