If you have lived in Lagos for even a short time, you must have heard about Ikosi Ketu. It is one of the busiest and most popular places on the Lagos Mainland. Many people know it because of the famous fruit market, while others see it as a major "bus stop" where you can connect to almost any part of Lagos or even travel out of the state.
Whether you are looking to move into the area or you just want to know how to navigate the roads, this guide will explain everything. We will talk about the local government it falls under, the landmarks you should know, and how much it costs to enter bus to this area.
Ikosi Ketu is located within the Kosofe Local Government Area of Lagos State. Specifically, it falls under the Ikosi-Isheri Local Council Development Area (LCDA). It is a very strategic location because it sits right along the Ikorodu Road corridor.
The area is bordered by Ojota to the south, Mile 12 to the north, and Shangisha/Magodo to the west. Because it is close to the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, it serves as a gateway for people coming into Lagos from other parts of Nigeria.
Ikosi Ketu is divided into several sections. You have the residential parts like Ikosi Road and the areas around TVC Communications. Then you have the highly commercial parts like the Ketu Market. The terrain is mostly flat, but during the rainy season, some inner streets can be a bit muddy, though the main roads are well-paved.
