From Lekki Phase 2, take a Keke Napep or a small Danfo bus going to Ajah Roundabout.
At Ajah, look for a Danfo bus heading to Obalende or CMS. Confirm the destination with the conductor.
From Obalende/CMS, find a Danfo bus going to Oshodi Under Bridge. This is a major interchange.
At Oshodi Under Bridge, ask for Danfo buses going to Iyana-Ipaja. Be careful crossing the road and watch your belongings.
From Iyana-Ipaja, take a Keke Napep or a small shuttle Danfo directly to Aboru. Confirm 'Aboru' with the driver/conductor.
To save time at Ajah, look for direct buses to Obalende/CMS rather than taking 'short-trip' buses first.
At Oshodi, there are many buses; ask clearly for 'Iyana-Ipaja'. Avoid rushing to board, take your time.
LASTMA/VIO are often present around Ajah, Obalende, and Oshodi, ensuring buses follow rules. This can sometimes cause slight delays but also helps with order.
On average, expect 3.5 to 5 hours. During peak traffic, it can take 5 hours or more. Off-peak travel (mid-day) might be around 2.5 to 3 hours.
Using a combination of Danfo buses for each stage is usually the cheapest, but BRT can also be cost-effective for longer legs and offers more comfort.
It is not advisable to travel this long route using public transport late at night (after 8 PM). 'One-chance' incidents are a risk, and public transport options become scarce and potentially less safe. Plan your journey to arrive before dark.
No, there are no direct public buses (Danfo or BRT) that cover the entire route from Lekki Phase 2 to Aboru. You will need to use multiple stages and change buses.
Yes, VIO and LASTMA officials are frequently seen at major junctions like Ajah, Obalende, Oshodi, and Iyana-Ipaja. They primarily manage traffic and ensure vehicle compliance. Their presence can sometimes cause minor delays but helps maintain order.

Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
Early morning (before 6:00 AM) or late morning (after 10:00 AM) to avoid the worst of the peak hour traffic. Mid-day (11:00 AM - 2:00 PM) offers the most relaxed travel. Avoid peak evening hours (4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) if possible, as travel time can double.
Safety Rating
Medium. While daylight travel is generally safe, 'one-chance' incidents can occur, especially on less crowded routes or late at night. Pickpocketing is common in very busy bus stops like Oshodi and Iyana-Ipaja. Always be alert and avoid displaying valuables.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for significant portions of this route, offering a more structured and often faster option than regular Danfo buses, especially from Ajah/Abraham Adesanya to Oshodi, and Oshodi to Iyana-Ipaja. There is no rail service for this specific intrastate route.
