• Route: From Ajah, you continue straight on the Lekki-Epe Expressway. You will pass areas like Abraham Adesanya, Ogombo, Awoyaya, Lakowe, Eleko, before reaching the general Idasho area. The journey is mostly linear, following the main road.
• Transport: You can enter a public bus (popularly called "Danfo") heading towards Eleko, Akodo, or Epe. Many drivers will stop at specific points in Idasho or near prominent estates in the area. You can also use ride-hailing services like Uber or Bolt, or hire a private taxi.
