Moving from Lawanson (Surulere area) to Akowonjo (Alimosho area) means traveling from the heart of mainland Lagos to the outer suburbs. It is a very busy route that connects through central transit hubs like Ojuelegba, Oshodi, and Ikeja Along or Dopemu. Because of fuel price hikes, fares change quickly, and heavy traffic can double your travel time if you do not plan well.

Best Time to Travel
To beat the morning rush hour traffic, leave Lawanson between 6:00 AM and 6:45 AM. If you miss this window, wait until the off-peak period from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM. For evening travel, try to leave before 4:30 PM or after 8:30 PM to avoid the worst gridlock around Oshodi and Dopemu.
Safety Rating
Medium - The route is generally safe during the day, but you must be very careful at major bus stops like Ojuelegba, Oshodi, and Dopemu Under-bridge. Watch out for pickpockets who pretend to be passengers, and avoid displaying your phone or cash in crowded areas. Stay alert when walking under bridges early in the morning or late at night.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT bus or train route that goes straight from Lawanson to Akowonjo. However, you can use the standard BRT buses from Ojuelegba to Oshodi, or use the Lagos Ride-Hailing services and yellow Danfo buses for the full journey.
