Best Time to Travel
If you are traveling in the morning, leave VGC between 5:30 AM and 6:15 AM so you can pass Lekki before the heavy work traffic builds up. If you are going in the afternoon, 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM is usually free.
Safety Rating
Medium - You need to follow the golden rule of Lagos movement: keep your eyes open. Watch your pockets at CMS and Ijora Under-bridge, especially early in the morning and late at night. Do not show your phone in slow traffic.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT or train that goes straight from VGC to Ijora. However, when you reach CMS, you can find the regulated LAGBUS or standard commercial buses that connect smoothly to the Ijora/Costain axis.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
