From Mbaise, take a local Keke Napep (tricycle) or a small bus to a major interstate motor park in Owerri, Imo State. Popular parks include Peace Mass Transit, GUO Transport, ABC Transport, or GIGM (God is Good Motors).

At the park, purchase a ticket for Ado-Ekiti. If direct buses are scarce, you can book a bus to Akure, Ondo State, which is a major transit point. Ensure to book with a reputable company. Buses are typically Hiace (14-18 seater) or sometimes luxury buses.

The bus will depart Owerri, typically heading towards the East-West Road (A232). Major transit towns along this route include Umunede and Agbor (often bypassed) before reaching Benin City. The driver may make a brief stop for passengers to stretch or use the restroom.

The bus will navigate through or around Benin City via the Benin City Bypass, then continue onto the Akure-Owo Express Road. A common and popular rest stop is usually at Ore, Ondo State, where you can buy food, drinks, and use facilities.

From Ore, the journey continues through Owo and then into Akure. If your bus is direct to Ado-Ekiti, it will proceed from Akure onto the Akure - Ado Ekiti Road. If you took a bus to Akure, you'll alight at the Akure motor park.

Upon arrival at the major motor park in Ado-Ekiti (e.g., Ekiti State Transport Service park or the park for your chosen company), you can take a local Keke Napep, shared taxi, or Okada (motorcycle taxi) to your final destination within Ado-Ekiti.
