If you live in Lagos or you are just visiting, you might have heard people talk about Bayeku. Bayeku is a popular coastal community located in the Ikorodu axis of Lagos State. It is well-known because of its water transport links, which many residents use to escape the heavy traffic on Ikorodu Road. Whether you are looking to move to the area or you just want to visit the Bayeku Jetty for a boat ride, this guide will tell you everything you need to know.
Bayeku is situated within the Ikorodu Local Government Area (LGA), specifically falling under the Ijede/Igbogbo-Bayeku Local Council Development Area (LCDA). It is a town that sits right by the lagoon, making it a very important hub for water transportation in Lagos.
The terrain in Bayeku is mostly flat and coastal. It shares boundaries with other popular Ikorodu towns like Igbogbo, Offin, and Oreta. Because it is close to the water, the breeze is usually cool, and the area has a mix of traditional residential buildings and new developments for people working on the Lagos Island.
Bayeku is not just one small street; it is a developing community with several landmarks. The most popular place in the whole of Bayeku is the Bayeku Jetty. This jetty is where people "enter boat" to go to places like Ajah, Victoria Island, and Lekki. Instead of spending three hours in traffic through Ketu and Third Mainland Bridge, many people prefer to take a 20-minute boat ride from here.
Other notable parts of Bayeku include the Bayeku Primary School, various local markets, and the traditional ruler's palace. The main road leading into the town is the Igbogbo-Bayeku Road, which connects the community to the rest of Ikorodu.
