Option 2: Via Agege Motor Road / Dopemu

This route might be preferred by some, especially if starting from certain parts of Ikeja closer to Agege.

1. **From Ikeja to Dopemu/Egbeda:** From Ikeja (e.g., Pen Cinema, Agege Motor Road), enter a bus going towards Dopemu or Egbeda.
2. **From Dopemu/Egbeda to Ijegun:** Similar to the first option, once you get to Dopemu or Egbeda, you will need to take a Keke Napep or a smaller bus to Ijegun.

Option 3: Ride-Hailing Services (Uber/Bolt)

For a more direct and comfortable, though more expensive, option, you can use ride-hailing apps like Uber or Bolt. These services offer direct trips from your location in Ikeja straight to your destination in Ijegun. This option is ideal for those who prefer convenience and are willing to pay more to avoid multiple transfers and the hassle of public transport.
