From your location in Lekki, take a local Danfo or Keke to the Ajah or Abraham Adesanya Bus Stop.
At Ajah or Abraham Adesanya, look for commercial buses or shared Sienna vehicles going directly to 'Epe T-Junction' or 'Epe Market'. These vehicles are usually parked at designated motor parks.
From Epe T-Junction or Epe Market, take a Keke Napep or Okada to Papa Uku.
Always confirm the fare before boarding to avoid disputes later.
Shared Sienna vehicles are often faster and more comfortable but slightly more expensive.
If a direct bus to Epe is full, you might need to wait for the next one.
The journey typically takes between 2 hours to 3 hours 30 minutes, depending on traffic conditions and the specific starting point in Lekki. During peak hours or heavy rain, it can take longer.
No, there are no direct buses from Lekki Phase 1 to Papa Uku. You will need to take a connecting bus, usually from Ajah or Abraham Adesanya, to Epe, and then a Keke or Okada to Papa Uku.
While generally safe, it's advisable to complete your journey during daylight hours. If you must travel at night, stick to busy motor parks and well-lit areas, and inform someone of your travel plans.
To save money, use BRT for the first leg of your journey to Abraham Adesanya, as it's often cheaper than Danfo. Also, negotiate Keke/Okada fares at Epe Market before boarding, especially if you're traveling with others.
