Where Exactly Is Idimu in Lagos: Your Comprehensive Transport Guide for 2026

From Oshodi (Major Transport Interchange)

Oshodi is a massive transport hub, and you can get to almost anywhere in Lagos from here. If you're coming from Oshodi, head to the bus park (either Oshodi Oke or the Under Bridge section) and look for buses heading towards Egbeda or Idimu directly. The route often goes through Agege Motor Road, then connects through Dopemu or Egbeda. It's a direct route once you're on the right bus.

From Yaba/CMS/Lagos Island (Central & Island Districts)

If you're starting your journey from Yaba, CMS, or any part of Lagos Island, you'll typically need to take a connecting bus. Your best bet is to first take a bus to either **Oshodi** or **Ikeja**. Once you arrive at either of these major hubs, you can then follow the directions mentioned above to get a direct bus to Idimu.

From Berger (Lagos-Ibadan Expressway Entry Point)

For travelers coming into Lagos via the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and alighting at Berger, the easiest approach is to take a bus heading to **Ikeja**. From Ikeja, you can then easily connect to Idimu using the routes described earlier.

Within Alimosho LGA (Egbeda, Ikotun, Ejigbo)

If you're already within the Alimosho LGA, getting to Idimu is much quicker. From Egbeda, you can take a short bus ride or even a Keke Napep (tricycle) directly to Idimu. From Ikotun or Ejigbo, you might take a bus to Egbeda first, or find direct buses/Keke Napep depending on your exact starting point and the availability of transport.
