From your location in Ikoyi (e.g., Falomo, Awolowo Road), board a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or a local bus heading towards 'Lekki Phase 1' or 'Admiralty Way'. You might be dropped before the bridge or directly after.
Alight at the major junction where Admiralty Way meets the Lekki-Epe Expressway. Look for a large commercial bus (Danfo) or 'Maruwa' (coaster bus) heading towards 'Ajah' or 'Abraham Adesanya'. These are plentiful along the main expressway.
Tell the conductor you're dropping at 'Ajah Market' or 'Ajah roundabout'. This is a major interchange. From here, you'll need another short bus ride.
From Ajah, board another commercial bus or Keke Napep clearly marked for 'Abraham Adesanya' or 'Sangotedo'. This will take you further down the Lekki-Epe Expressway.
Upon reaching Abraham Adesanya, look for a Keke Napep or a smaller 'mini-bus' heading further towards 'Lekki Phase 2 Gate' or 'LBS' (Lagos Business School) vicinity. Confirm your specific street or bus stop within Lekki Phase 2 with the driver/conductor.
Always have smaller denominations of Naira (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) as conductors rarely have change for large notes, especially early in the morning or late at night.
Be mindful of rush hour (6-9 AM and 4-7 PM) as fares can increase significantly due to demand and traffic congestion on the Lekki-Epe Expressway.
Confirm your destination with the conductor *before* boarding and be vocal about your drop-off point to ensure you don't miss your stop.
While generally safe during the day, it's advisable to use ride-hailing services or licensed taxis for this route at night, especially to Lekki Phase 2, which can be less busy and have fewer commercial buses operating after dark. Always prioritize well-lit areas for pickups and drop-offs.
During peak hours (6-9 AM and 4-7 PM), the journey can extend significantly from the estimated 65 minutes to 1.5 - 2.5 hours, particularly on the Lekki-Epe Expressway. Off-peak, it might be closer to 45-60 minutes, but unexpected traffic can always arise.
Yes, you will cross the Ikoyi Link Bridge, which has a toll. If you're using a ride-hailing service, the toll is typically included in your fare. If driving yourself or using a commercial vehicle that doesn't pre-pay, you'd pay the toll directly at the plaza.
