Route Navigation
Lekki Phase 2 Main Gate / Nearest Major Junction
Locate your nearest Keke Napep or local shuttle stop within Lekki Phase 2. Board a Keke Napep or shuttle heading towards the main Lekki-Epe Expressway, specifically asking to be dropped at a point where you can easily find a bus going towards Ajah Under Bridge/Roundabout.
Ajah Under Bridge/Roundabout
Once on the Lekki-Epe Expressway, board a short commercial bus (Danfo) heading to 'Ajah Under Bridge' or 'Ajah Roundabout'. Confirm the destination with the conductor ('Ajah Under Bridge?'). This is a quick hop.
CMS Bus Stop (Lagos Island)
At Ajah Under Bridge, look for a large commercial bus (Danfo) with a conductor shouting 'CMS! CMS!'. Board this bus. This will be a longer journey, traversing the Lekki-Epe Expressway and likely the Third Mainland Bridge to Lagos Island.
Maryland Mall / Maryland Bus Stop
From CMS, alight and find another Danfo going towards 'Ojota' or 'Ketu'. Tell the conductor you're dropping at 'Maryland Bus Stop'. This bus will pass through key areas, making Maryland a crucial connection point for Ikeja.
Ikeja Under Bridge / Awolowo Way, Ikeja
At Maryland Bus Stop, cross the road or navigate to the side with buses heading to 'Ikeja'. Board a bus to 'Ikeja Under Bridge' or 'Along' (meaning Ikeja Along Awolowo Way). This is a direct shot to the main Ikeja hub.
Otigba Street Entrance, Computer Village
Alight at Ikeja Under Bridge. Computer Village (Otigba Street) is a short, well-signposted walk from here. You can ask any local for 'Computer Village main gate' or 'Otigba Street'. Alternatively, if you have heavy luggage, a short Keke Napep ride is an option.
💡Pro Travel Tips
Be Prepared for Transfers: This route involves multiple bus changes; confirm your destination clearly with conductors at each step to avoid going off-route.
Cash is King: Always carry sufficient smaller denominations (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) as conductors often don't have change for large notes.
Mind the Rush Hour: Peak periods (6-9 AM, 4-7 PM) will significantly extend travel time and make finding buses more challenging due to heavy traffic.

❓Route FAQ
What's the best time to travel this route to avoid traffic?
The absolute best time to travel this route is late morning (around 10 AM - 12 PM) or early afternoon (1 PM - 3 PM) on weekdays. Weekends, especially Sunday mornings, also offer lighter traffic. It's generally best to avoid peak rush hours (6-9 AM and 4-7 PM) on weekdays, as travel times can more than double.
Is it safe to carry electronics or valuables through Computer Village?
Computer Village is generally safe during the day, but it is an extremely crowded commercial area. Always be mindful of your belongings, especially electronics. Keep them secure, avoid flashy displays, and be aware of your surroundings to prevent petty theft. It's wise to visit with a purpose and limit loitering.
Are there any alternative routes if the main roads are heavily congested?
While ride-hailing apps will dynamically adjust routes to find the quickest path, options for public transport are more fixed. Sometimes, utilizing the BRT lane from Maryland (if applicable for your specific bus) can offer some speed. For ride-hailing, drivers may use inner city roads, but these can add time and involve rougher terrains. Generally, sticking to the main thoroughfares is recommended unless specifically advised otherwise by locals or live traffic apps.
