Moving from Lekki Phase 1 to Ikotun takes you across the full length of Lagos, from the Island to the deep Mainland. Because of high fuel prices and heavy traffic, it is a long and expensive journey. You will need to change buses multiple times at major parks like CMS, Cele, or Oshodi. Planning your movement around peak hours is very important to avoid getting stuck on the road for hours.

Best Time to Travel
To beat the worst traffic, leave Lekki before 6:00 AM or after 10:00 AM. If you are returning from Lekki to Ikotun in the evening, leave before 4:00 PM or wait until after 8:30 PM to avoid the massive rush-hour gridlock.
Safety Rating
Medium - Be very alert at major interchange hubs like Oshodi, Cele, and Ikotun under-bridge, especially in the early mornings and late nights. Keep your phone and wallet inside your bag to avoid pickpockets and 'one-chance' criminals.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT bus or Train line from Lekki to Ikotun. However, you can use the Blue Line Rail from Marina/CMS to Mile 2 to cut beat traffic, or use standard BRT buses along parts of the Oshodi/Cele corridor before entering a local Danfo to Ikotun.
