Detailed Route and Area Breakdown to LASU Alumni Centre

Getting to the LASU Alumni Centre means first getting to the LASU main campus in Ojo. Here’s how you can get there from different parts of Lagos:

From Oshodi

Oshodi is a major transport hub in Lagos. From here, you have several options:

1. **By Bus (Danfo):** Go to the Oshodi bus terminal. Look for buses going directly to "Mile 2." From Mile 2, you will find many buses heading towards "Badagry Expressway," "LASU Gate," "Iyana Iba," or "Okoko." Take any of these and tell the driver or conductor you are going to "LASU Gate" or "Volkswagen bus stop." The LASU Alumni Centre is inside the campus, so you will enter the campus from the main gate.
2. **By BRT:** From the Oshodi BRT terminal, take a BRT bus going to "Mile 2." At Mile 2, cross over to the other side of the road to find buses going towards "LASU Gate" or "Iyana Iba" along the Badagry Expressway.

From Ikeja

Ikeja, the state capital, also offers various routes:

1. **Via Agege/Abule Egba:** From Ikeja Under Bridge or Computer Village, take a bus going to "Agege" or "Abule Egba." From Abule Egba, you can find buses going directly to "Iyana Iba" or "Okoko." Drop at Iyana Iba or Volkswagen bus stop and enter the campus.
2. **Via Mile 2:** From Ikeja, take a bus to "Oshodi" or "Maryland/Ojota" and then connect to "Mile 2" as described above. Alternatively, you can take a bus directly from Ikeja to "Mile 2," though this route might involve more traffic depending on the time of day. From Mile 2, connect to LASU Gate.

From CMS/Marina (Lagos Island)

If you are on Lagos Island, particularly around CMS or Marina:

1. **By Bus:** Find buses heading to "Mile 2." From Mile 2, follow the directions as described for Oshodi, taking a bus to "LASU Gate" or "Volkswagen bus stop."

From Ajah/Lekki/Badore

From the far end of Lagos Island, the journey will be longer:

1. **By Bus:** Take a bus from your location to "CMS" or "TBS (Tafawa Balewa Square)." From CMS, take a bus to "Mile 2." Then, from Mile 2, take another bus to "LASU Gate" or "Volkswagen bus stop" along the Badagry Expressway.

Inside LASU Campus

Once you get to the "Volkswagen (VW) bus stop" or "LASU Gate," the Alumni Centre is usually well-signposted within the university premises.
