The journey from upscale Lekki Phase 1 to the bustling commercial hub of Alaba International Market is a significant cross-Lagos adventure, transitioning from the island's modern infrastructure to the mainland's vibrant, high-traffic arteries. Contrary to a short 6km trip, this route covers approximately 35-45 km and typically takes 1.5 to 4 hours due to Lagos' notorious traffic. This guide provides realistic options to navigate this extensive route efficiently, rewarding travelers with access to one of West Africa's largest electronics markets.

Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From your location in Lekki Phase 1, make your way to a major bus stop along Admiralty Way or Lekki-Epe Expressway (e.g., Lekki Phase 1 Gate or Second Roundabout). You might take a short Keke Napep (tricycle) ride if you're not within walking distance.
Board a yellow commercial bus (Danfo) specifically heading to "Obalende" or "CMS." Confirm with the conductor before boarding by asking "Obalende/CMS?".
Alight at Obalende or CMS. Walk to the section of the bus park where buses for "Mile 2" are loading. Look for buses with "Mile 2" boldly written on them or called out by touts ('agbero').
At Mile 2, disembark and navigate to the bus stop located along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway. Look for buses or "Korope" (mini-buses) going to "Trade Fair," "Volks," "Iyana-Iba," or specifically "Alaba International Market."
Inform the conductor you want to alight at "Alaba International Market" or "Volks Bus Stop." These are the primary drop-off points for the market.
From the main road drop-off point, depending on your specific destination within the vast market, you might need to walk a bit or take a short Keke Napep (tricycle) or Okada (motorcycle, if available and permitted) further into the market's labyrinthine alleys.
