From Lagos Island (CMS, Marina, Victoria Island)

If you're starting your journey from the heart of Lagos Island, such as CMS, Marina, or Victoria Island, your best bet is to head towards Ajah.

From **CMS Bus Stop** or **Marina**, you can easily find yellow buses (danfo) heading directly to Ajah. These buses typically follow the Lekki-Epe Expressway, passing through Ikoyi, Lekki Phase 1, Lekki Phase 2, Jakande, Chevron, and Sangotedo before reaching Ajah. Once you drop at Ajah, you'll need to take another bus or a Keke Napep (tricycle) to Awoyaya, which is just a few stops away along the same expressway.

From Central Mainland (Yaba, Oshodi, Ojota)

For those starting from central mainland locations like Yaba, Oshodi, or Ojota, the route is slightly different but still straightforward.

• From Yaba: Take a bus going to Ajah. You might need to first get to CMS or Obalende, and then connect to an Ajah bus, or sometimes direct buses are available depending on the time of day.
• From Oshodi: Head to the Oshodi Transport Interchange. From there, you can find buses going to Ajah or sometimes directly to Sangotedo. If you get a bus to Ajah, follow the same steps as above.
• From Ojota: Ojota is a major bus terminal. You can easily find buses heading towards Ajah. These buses will typically go through the Third Mainland Bridge, then connect to the Lekki-Epe Expressway.

Once you drop at Ajah, look for buses or Keke Napeps heading towards Awoyaya (they will usually have "Awoyaya" or "Epe" written on them).

From Western Mainland (Ikeja, Berger)

If you're coming from the western part of the mainland, such as Ikeja or Berger, your journey will also involve connecting to the Lekki-Epe axis.

• From Ikeja: From Ikeja Under Bridge or the Ikeja Along axis, you can find buses going to CMS or Ojota. From CMS or Ojota, you then follow the routes described above to Ajah, and then to Awoyaya. Alternatively, you can take a bus heading towards Maryland, then connect to a bus going to Ajah from there, though this might be a longer route.
• From Berger: Take a bus from Berger to Ojota. From Ojota, you can easily find buses heading to Ajah.

For all these routes, once you reach Ajah, finding transport to Awoyaya is easy. Look for buses or Keke Napeps specifically going to Awoyaya, which is only a short distance further down the Lekki-Epe Expressway.
