From Lekki Phase 1, find a 'Danfo' bus heading towards Ajah. You can board from bus stops like Lekki Phase 1 Gate or Marwa Bus Stop.
At Ajah Roundabout, alight and look for another 'Danfo' or mini-bus heading towards Eleko Junction or Epe. Confirm with the conductor that they are going past Eleko Junction.
From Eleko Junction, you will find 'Keke Napep' tricycles or shared mini-buses that can take you directly to Orimedu. Negotiate the fare before boarding.
Always confirm your destination with the conductor before boarding to avoid going the wrong way.
For the Eleko to Orimedu leg, if you have luggage, a shared mini-bus might be more comfortable than a 'Keke Napep'.
LASTMA/VIO hotspots are common around Ajah and Abraham Adesanya. Commercial vehicles are often stopped for inspections, which can cause delays.
