Showing the primary/fastest route plan
Go to a major interstate motor park in Ilorin. Recommended parks include: GIGM (God is Good Motors) Terminal (e.g., along Muritala Mohammed Way), Peace Mass Transit Terminal (e.g., Tanke area), or ABC Transport (e.g., Pipeline Road).
Purchase your ticket. It's advisable to book in advance, especially during peak seasons or holidays. Confirm your destination is 'Lagos' and specify 'Ketu' if the company offers a direct drop-off point, though most will drop at their main Lagos terminal (e.g., Jibowu, Ojota, MazaMaza).
Board your bus. Vehicles are typically 14-seater Hiace buses, 18-seater Sprinters, or larger luxury buses. The journey starts by departing Ilorin via Old Yidi Road, Abdul Aziz Attah Road, and Airport Road, connecting to the A1 highway.
The bus will travel through Ogbomoso and Oyo via the A1, Ogbomoso Oyo Road, and Oyo-Ogbomoso Road. Expect a brief stop around Oyo or Ibadan for refreshments and restroom breaks. Road conditions are generally fair to good on the major highways, but some sections may have potholes.
Continue on the E1 and F204 towards Lagos. You will pass through Ibadan, connecting to the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. Expect security checkpoints along the route. Have your ID ready if requested.
Upon arrival in Lagos, the bus will typically terminate at a major park like Ojota, Jibowu, or MazaMaza. From there, you will need to take local transport to Ketu. Options include 'Danfo' (yellow buses), 'Keke Napep' (tricycles), or 'Okada' (motorcycles, if allowed on that route).

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (6:00 AM - 8:00 AM) are ideal to avoid peak traffic in Ibadan and Lagos and to ensure you complete the journey in daylight. Avoid traveling on Fridays or Sundays if possible, as these days often see heavier traffic and potentially higher fares.
Safety Rating
Medium. The route is generally well-traveled during the day and considered relatively safe. However, 'one-chance' incidents can occur if you board unofficial vehicles or accept lifts from strangers. Night travel is not recommended due to increased security risks (e.g., armed robbery) and poor visibility. Always use reputable transport companies.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT or rail service connecting Ilorin to Ketu. However, the Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge rail line offers a passenger service from Ibadan to Lagos (Ebute Metta/Apapa). Travelers can opt to take a bus from Ilorin to Ibadan, then board the train to Lagos, and finally use local transport to Ketu. This is a longer, multi-modal option.
Most major parks at Jibowu and Utako now accept bank transfers, but network delays are common. Keep a buffer of N2,000 cash for loading fees and terminal taxes.
