Take a direct luxury bus from Kola to Lagos. Most buses will drop you at major Lagos parks like 'Berger Bus Stop', 'Ojota Motor Park', or 'Jibowu'.

Best Time to Travel
It's best to depart early in the morning (e.g., 6:00 AM - 7:00 AM) to arrive in Lagos before nightfall. If you choose a night bus, ensure it's from a highly reputable company known for safety and direct travel. Avoid traveling late at night in private cars or unofficial shared taxis.
Safety Rating
Medium. Interstate travel in Nigeria requires caution. While major transport companies offer relatively safer options, highway security can be a concern, especially at night. 'One-chance' syndicates operate, so always use reputable motor parks and avoid unofficial stops. Be aware of your surroundings.
BRT / Rail / Water
No direct BRT or train service covers the entire Kola to Lekki route. However, once you arrive in Lagos, you can use BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) from major hubs like Ikorodu Road (if you arrive at Ojota/Jibowu) or Mile 12 to CMS/Obalende, which are connecting points for Lekki. There is no rail service currently connecting Kola to Lagos for this journey.
