Locate a reputable interstate bus terminal in Kola. Popular companies include God is Good Motors (GIGM), ABC Transport, Chisco Transport, and Young Shall Grow. Book your ticket in advance, especially during festive periods.
Board your bus. The journey will follow major highways like A4, A3, and the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. Buses typically make comfort stops for refreshments and stretching. Be mindful of your belongings during stops.
Arrive at the bus company's terminal in Lagos (e.g., Jibowu, Yaba, or Berger). From here, you'll need local transport to Lekki Phase 1. Be wary of touts and unverified drivers.
From your Lagos terminal, take a public bus or 'Danfo' heading towards CMS or Obalende. If you arrive at Berger, you can take a 'long bus' directly to CMS.
From CMS or Obalende, look for buses or 'Danfos' going to Lekki Phase 1, Ikate, or Ajah. Confirm with the conductor that it will drop you near Admiralty Way or Lekki Phase 1 Gate.
Once at the Lekki Phase 1 Gate or Admiralty Way, take a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or 'Okada' (motorcycle taxi, if allowed in that specific area) to Wole Olateju Crescent. Confirm the address with the Keke/Okada driver.

Best Time to Travel
Depart very early in the morning (e.g., 5:00 AM - 6:00 AM) to maximize daylight hours and avoid night travel. Plan to arrive in Lagos before 5:00 PM to beat the worst of the evening traffic and ensure safe onward travel to Lekki Phase 1.
Safety Rating
Medium to Low for night travel, High for daytime travel. Interstate roads in Nigeria can pose security risks. 'One-chance' syndicates operate on some routes, and armed robbery can occur, especially at night or in isolated areas. Always travel with reputable transport companies or in convoys if driving yourself. Avoid traveling after 6:00 PM.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available within Lagos for local transport, but not for the interstate portion of this journey. There is no direct interstate rail service connecting Kola to Lagos. However, once in Lagos, you can use BRT from major hubs like CMS/Obalende/TBS to specific points on the Lekki-Epe axis, but not directly into Lekki Phase 1.
The Oshodi multi-terminal is highly secure, but pickpockets operate on the outer pedestrian bridges. Keep phones and wallets zipped in inner pockets.
