Because of recent fuel price increases, if you are using public Danfo and Keke, you should budget between ₦1,500 and ₦2,200 for a one-way trip. If you are using a ride-hailing app, it will cost between ₦7,500 and ₦12,000 depending on the time of day.
No, there are no direct commercial buses from Ojota to Ago Palace. You must stop at a major junction along the way, such as Oshodi or Cele Bus Stop, and then take another vehicle to finish your journey.
The safest time is during broad daylight, specifically between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Avoid traveling very late at night (after 9:30 PM) because areas like Oshodi Under-bridge and Cele Bus Stop can become dangerous with street boys (area boys).
If heavy rain starts, try to find a safe building or filling station to wait it out if you are at a junction. Ago Palace Way floods easily, which makes Keke operations stop completely or double their prices. If you are already in a bus, expect the journey to take twice as long.
