From your location in Lekki Phase 1, walk to the nearest major bus stop (e.g., Admiralty Way, Lekki Gate). Board a 'Danfo' (yellow bus) heading towards Obalende. Confirm the destination with the conductor.
Alight at Obalende Bus Stop. Look for 'Danfo' buses or 'Korope' (smaller buses) heading to Oworo. Confirm the destination with the conductor.
The bus will take the 3rd Mainland Bridge and drop you at Iyana Oworo Bus Stop or within the Oworo area.
This option offers flexibility but involves multiple changes.
Fares can increase during peak hours or heavy traffic; always confirm the price before boarding.
LASTMA/VIO officers are often present around Falomo and Obalende; drivers generally follow rules but be aware of potential delays from their operations.
Under normal traffic conditions, the journey can take between 60 to 90 minutes. During peak hours or heavy rain, it can extend to 2 hours or more.
Traveling at night on major routes is generally safe, but it's advisable to use well-lit, busy bus stops and established transport services. Avoid isolated areas or boarding private vehicles late at night. It's best to complete your journey before 9:00 PM if possible.
Direct 'Danfo' buses from Lekki Phase 1 to Oworo are rare. Most routes require at least one change, typically at Obalende or CMS/TBS. BRT offers a more direct option from CMS/TBS to Oworo.
Using public transport like 'Danfo' or BRT is the most cost-effective option. Avoid private taxis or ride-hailing apps if saving money is your priority. Traveling outside peak hours can sometimes lead to slightly lower 'Danfo' fares due to less demand, but BRT fares are fixed.

Best Time to Travel
To avoid heavy traffic, travel between 9:30 AM - 3:30 PM on weekdays. Early mornings before 6:00 AM or late evenings after 9:00 PM also offer lighter traffic, but consider personal safety for late travel. Weekends generally have lighter traffic, especially on Saturdays.
Safety Rating
Medium. While major routes are generally safe during the day, 'one-chance' incidents can occur, especially if boarding unmarked vehicles or late at night. Always use well-known public transport hubs and avoid isolated stops after dark. Be aware of pickpockets in crowded areas.
BRT / Rail / Water
