Moving from the coastal area of Makoko to the busy suburb of Akowonjo means traveling from Lagos Mainland deep into the Alimosho local government area. This journey connects through major hubs like Yaba, Oshodi, and Iyana-Ipaja. Because of the 2026 fuel price hikes across Lagos, transport costs have changed significantly, making route planning very important to avoid wasting money.

Safety Rating
Medium - Watch out for pickpockets at major crowded bus stops like Yaba and Iyana-Ipaja. Avoid late-night movements and keep your phone inside your bag when boarding commercial buses.
BRT / Rail / Water
Yes, you can use the Lagos Red Line Rail from Yaba station to Ikeja station to bypass heavy highway traffic completely. Standard BRT buses are also available at Oshodi going towards your final route connection.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
