Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From Ikeja, take a local 'Danfo' (public bus) or a taxi from Olowu Street or Obafemi Awolowo Way. Head towards Jibowu, Yaba, which is a major hub for interstate transport companies travelling East/South-South. Alternatively, some companies might have booking offices or terminals closer to Ikeja, but Jibowu remains a primary departure point.
At the chosen motor park (e.g., GIGM, GUO, ABC Transport terminal), proceed to the booking counter. Purchase your ticket to Benin City. Confirm your luggage allowance and boarding time. Board the designated luxury bus (usually air-conditioned with reclining seats).
The journey starts by heading out of Lagos, merging onto the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. You will then transition to the Abeokuta-Sagamu Expressway and further onto the Benin-Sagamu Expressway. Major transit towns like Sagamu and Ore will be passed. Ore often serves as a mandatory rest stop where passengers can stretch, use restrooms, and buy refreshments. Expect security checkpoints along the route. Road conditions vary, with dual carriageway sections and some areas with potholes.
Upon arrival at the transport company's terminal in Benin City (often located along Benin-Sapele Road or a major entry point), disembark. You will need to take local transport like a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or a local taxi to Mike 2. Instruct your driver to head towards Urubi, Iyaro Street, James Watt Road, Mission Road, and Benin-Sapele Road. From there, navigate via A2, OyoheLoop, Salubi Street, Powell Street, Nnewi Street, and finally Mike Okenini Close, where Mike 2 is located.
