Head to Makoko Central Motor Park in Makoko. Ask for vehicles or drivers loading passengers going directly to Akoka.
Board the Akoka-bound local vehicle. Ensure you hold smaller currency notes (change) to easily pay the driver without issues.
Disembark securely at Akoka Central Motor Park in the central area of Akoka. From here, you can hail a local bike (Okada) or drop to your specific street address.
Always confirm the final drop-off point with the driver before boarding.
Hold smaller naira denominations to avoid 'no-change' arguments.
Keep your bags close to you as local buses can be tightly packed.
