Showing the primary/fastest route plan
Go to Katsina Central Motor Park or a specific company terminal (e.g., GIGM, GUO, ABC Transport booking office) in Katsina. Book your ticket in advance, especially for weekend travel.
Board a luxury bus (typically 14-18 seater Hiace or larger AC bus). The journey is long, so ensure you have snacks, water, and power bank. The bus will depart Katsina, heading south.
The bus will pass through major cities like Kaduna, Abuja, Lokoja, Okene, Benin City, and Ore. There will be scheduled rest stops for meals and stretching, typically in Lokoja and Ore. Be mindful of security checkpoints along the way.
The bus will arrive at a major interstate terminal in Lagos, commonly Iyana-Ipaja, Jibowu, or Ajah (depending on the company).
From the Lagos terminal, take a 'Danfo' (yellow bus), 'Keke' (tricycle), or BRT bus towards Oshodi or CMS/TBS. For Victoria Island, a direct BRT to CMS/TBS is often the most straightforward.
From CMS/TBS, take another 'Danfo' or 'Keke' directly into Victoria Island, depending on your final destination.
