Medium - Jibowu and Ojota are busy transport hubs. Keep your phone and wallet safe inside your bag. Beware of pickpockets at night and avoid entering one-chance buses by only using major parks.

Bypass the Ikeja Under-Bridge corridor from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM. Traffic builds rapidly due to commercial buses loading along the main road lanes.
Areas Affected
Ikorodu Road
Due to the current fuel price hikes, using public Danfo buses will cost you between ₦1,000 and ₦1,500 in total. If you choose ride-hailing apps, the fare ranges from ₦4,500 to ₦7,500 depending on the traffic surge.
Direct buses from Jibowu to Alausa are rare. Most times, you have to take a bus to Ojota or Maryland first, then take a second short bus or Keke that goes directly into Alausa.
The fastest way is to leave Jibowu very early by 6:15 AM. Once it is 7:00 AM, the Ikorodu road corridor and Ojota become very blocked with people going to work.
No, commercial tricycles (Keke) and commercial motorcycles (Okada) are restricted from entering the main inner zones of the Lagos State Secretariat complex. They will drop you at designated spots like Under-bridge or nearby junctions, and you will walk inside.
