From Lagos Island (CMS, Victoria Island, Lekki Phase 1)

If you're starting from the heart of Lagos Island, such as CMS, Marina, or Victoria Island, your journey will primarily involve the Lekki-Epe Expressway.

• **From CMS/Marina:** You'll head towards Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue, which leads directly onto the Lekki-Epe Expressway.
• **From Victoria Island:** Navigate towards Lekki Phase 1, then get onto the Lekki-Epe Expressway.
• **From Lekki Phase 1/Ikate:** Simply join the Lekki-Epe Expressway, heading towards Ajah/Epe.

Once on the Lekki-Epe Expressway, your route is fairly straightforward:

You will pass through:

• Lekki Toll Gate (Phase 1)
• Jakande Roundabout
• Chevron Roundabout
• VGC/Ikota
• Ajah Underbridge (a major landmark and transport hub)
• Abraham Adesanya Estate
• Sangotedo/Novare Mall
• Abijo G.R.A.
• Lakowe
• Eleko Junction

After Eleko Junction, Bogije is just a few kilometers away. You will recognize it by its distinctive bus stops, commercial activities, and the numerous estates signposted along the road.

From Lagos Mainland (Ikeja, Ojota, Yaba, Surulere)

Traveling from the Mainland requires you to first connect to the Island's Lekki-Epe Expressway. There are a few ways to do this:

• **From Ikeja/Ojota:**
  • Take a bus or taxi heading towards Oshodi, then connect to a bus going to CMS/Marina. From CMS, follow the Island route described above.
  • Alternatively, from Ojota, you can find direct buses going towards Ajah. These buses will usually take the Third Mainland Bridge, then head towards Ozumba Mbadiwe and onto the Lekki-Epe Expressway. Once you get to Ajah, you'll need to take another bus or taxi heading further down to Bogije.
• **From Yaba/Surulere:**
  • Head towards CMS/Marina via Eko Bridge or Third Mainland Bridge. From CMS, follow the Island route.
  • Alternatively, some direct buses might go from Yaba to Ajah. From Ajah, you can easily get another bus or shared taxi to Bogije.

The key is to reach the Lekki-Epe Expressway and then continue your journey eastward. Always confirm with the driver that they are going towards "Eleko" or "Bogije" or even "Epe" before boarding, but make sure to inform them you will be dropping at Bogije.

Best Departure Points (Parks/Terminals)

To embark on your journey to Bogije, consider these key departure points:

• **For Island Departures:**
  • **CMS/Marina:** A major hub for buses heading to various parts of Lekki and Ajah. You can find buses going directly to Ajah here, from where you can connect to Bogije.
  • **Lekki Phase 1 Bus Stops:** Several bus stops along the Lekki-Epe Expressway in Lekki Phase 1 offer buses heading towards Ajah and beyond.
  • **Ajah Underbridge:** This is perhaps the most crucial hub. If you're coming from any part of Lagos and need to go to Bogije, getting a bus to Ajah Underbridge is an excellent first step. From Ajah, you'll find numerous smaller buses and shared taxis (kabu-kabu) specifically heading to Eleko, Bogije, and further down the expressway.
• **For Mainland Departures:**
  • **Ojota Terminal:** A massive transport hub where you can find long buses or coasters heading towards Ajah.

For ride-hailing services like Uber or Bolt, you can request a ride from almost any location directly to Bogije, keeping in mind the potential for higher fares for longer distances.

Safety and Travel Tips for Your Journey to Bogije

Traveling in Lagos, especially to developing areas like Bogije, requires a few precautions to ensure a smooth and safe journey:

• **Travel During Daylight Hours:** It's always safer and easier to navigate unfamiliar routes during the day.
