Depart from a reputable inter-state bus terminal in Kaduna. Look for companies like ABC Transport, GIGM (God is Good Motors), Chisco, or Peace Mass Transit.
The bus will follow the general route through AVM John Yisa Doko Way, A2, Mando Road, A125, A10, Jebba Road, Ibadan-Ilorin Expressway, Ogbomoso-Ikoyi Road, Oyo Road, and E1 (Lagos-Ibadan Expressway).
Arrive at a major bus terminal in Lagos. Common drop-off points for buses from Kaduna include Jibowu Bus Terminal, Maza Maza Park, or Berger Bus Stop.
From the Lagos bus terminal, take a 'short-trip' Danfo or Keke to a point closer to Lekki. For example, from Berger, you can take a Danfo to Ojota, then another to CMS/Obalende. From Jibowu, take a Danfo to CMS/Obalende.
From CMS/Obalende, take a Danfo or BRT heading towards Ajah/Epe. Ask to alight at a point along Admiralty Way or close to Lekki Phase 1/2. The BRT usually stops at major designated points.
From Admiralty Way, take a Keke Napep or another 'short-trip' Danfo into Lekki Phase 2, specifically towards Ahmad Tijani Otton Street.
Book your bus ticket in advance, especially during peak travel seasons.
Always choose a reputable bus company known for its safety record and punctuality.
Keep your valuables secure and within your sight. Avoid showing off cash or expensive gadgets.
For local Lagos transport, always ask for the fare before you board to avoid disputes or 'along' charges.
To save money on local transport, use 'short-trip' Danfos instead of direct routes, as direct routes might be more expensive.
No, it is strongly advised against traveling by road at night on this route. Poor visibility, increased security risks, and the difficulty of getting help in case of a vehicle breakdown make night travel very dangerous. Always plan your journey to arrive at your destination before dark.
LASTMA and VIO officials are frequently seen around major junctions and roads in Lagos. Specific hotspots include the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway entry points (around Berger Bus Stop), Alfred Rewane Road, Osborne Road, and the Lekki-Epe Expressway. If you are driving yourself, ensure all your vehicle documents are up-to-date. For public transport, make sure the vehicle is roadworthy to avoid delays caused by officials.
To minimize traffic delays in Lagos, try to schedule your arrival outside of peak hours (6 AM - 10 AM and 4 PM - 8 PM). If using local transport, consider routes that use the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge (which has a toll but can save time) or use BRT where available to bypass some traffic. Early morning departures are generally the best strategy.

Best Time to Travel
It is best to depart very early in the morning (e.g., 6 AM - 7 AM) from Kaduna. This helps you avoid initial city traffic and ensures you arrive in Lagos before it gets dark. Avoid traveling on public holidays or during festive seasons as roads will be extremely busy and transport fares will be higher. Mid-week travel is usually less congested.
Safety Rating
Medium. While major highways are generally safer during the day, long-distance road travel in Nigeria carries certain risks. There have been reports of security incidents on some inter-state routes. Night travel is strongly discouraged due to increased security risks and poor road visibility. Be careful of 'one-chance' syndicates when using local public transport within Lagos, especially at night.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT or rail service for the entire inter-state journey. However, the Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge rail offers a good alternative for the Ibadan to Lagos part of the trip. Within Lagos, BRT services are available from major hubs (like Iyana Oworo or CMS) which can connect you closer to Lekki Phase 2 after you arrive at a main bus terminal.
