Moving from Ijora to Iganmu is a very short journey within the industrial and heart areas of Lagos. Because they are close to each other, you can use different local options like yellow buses (Danfo), Keke Napep, or private cars. However, because of heavy container trucks coming from Apapa port and bad road portions, a journey that should take less than ten minutes can sometimes take much longer during heavy traffic hours.

Walk down to the main Ijora 7Up Bus Stop or Ijora Olopa.

Always hold your change (lesser naira notes) to avoid arguments with the bus conductor.

Fares have increased significantly because of current fuel price inflation in Lagos, and drivers charge extra to cover the cost of sitting in heavy truck traffic.
Yes, if your destination is around the borders like Costain or the National Theatre, you can walk it in about twenty to thirty minutes. However, do not walk it late at night because of safety risks.
Yes, because Ijora and Iganmu are close to the Apapa port gates, large container trucks and fuel tankers use these roads constantly and can cause sudden blockages.
The National Theatre Station is located right in Iganmu, but it only brings people coming from Mile 2 or Marina. It does not have a station inside Ijora for this very short trip.
