Getting to Jakande from Major Lagos Hubs

From the Mainland (e.g., Ikeja, Oshodi, Yaba, CMS)

If you're coming from the Mainland, your journey will typically involve heading towards CMS/Marina or directly to the Lekki-Epe Expressway.

• **From Ikeja/Oshodi**: You would usually take a bus heading to CMS/Marina or directly to Lekki. From CMS, you then connect to a bus going to Ajah/Sangotedo and drop at Jakande. Alternatively, some direct buses go from Oshodi to Lekki/Ajah, and you can alight at Jakande.
• **From Yaba/Ojuelegba**: Take a bus to CMS/Marina, then connect to a Lekki-bound bus.
• **From CMS/Marina**: This is a direct route. You'll find plenty of yellow buses (Danfo) or BRT buses heading towards Ajah/Sangotedo. Just tell the conductor you're dropping at Jakande.

From Other Parts of the Island (e.g., Victoria Island, Ikoyi, Lekki Phase 1, Ajah)

Travel from other parts of the Island is generally easier as you're already on the Lekki axis.

• **From Victoria Island/Ikoyi**: Take a bus or ride-hailing service towards Lekki. Once on the Lekki-Epe Expressway, you'll pass Lekki Phase 1 and Ikate Elegushi before reaching Jakande.
• **From Lekki Phase 1**: This is a short trip. Take any bus heading towards Ajah/Sangotedo from a bus stop in Lekki Phase 1 (e.g., Lekki First Roundabout, Second Roundabout). Jakande is just a few bus stops away.
• **From Ajah/Sangotedo**: If you're coming from further down the Lekki-Epe Expressway, take a bus heading towards Lekki Phase 1 or CMS. Jakande will be a prominent stop on your right (if heading towards Lekki Phase 1).
