Best Departure Points to Sangotedo

To get to Sangotedo, you'll typically need to head towards the Lekki-Epe Expressway. Here are some common departure points and how to navigate from them:

• From Lagos Island (CMS, Obalende, Victoria Island):

  • Look for yellow buses (danfos) heading towards "Ajah," "Abraham Adesanya," or "Epe." You will likely need to take a direct bus to Ajah and then take another bus or Keke Napep from Ajah to Sangotedo. Some direct buses might go past Sangotedo, but they are less common.
  • For a more comfortable ride, ride-hailing services are readily available.

• From Mainland (Oshodi, Ikeja, Ojota):

  • You'll first need to get to a major bus stop on the Island axis, typically CMS or Obalende. From Oshodi or Ikeja, take a bus to CMS or Obalende. From Ojota, take a bus to Ajah directly or to CMS/Obalende.
  • Once at CMS or Obalende, follow the instructions above for Island departure points.
  • Alternatively, ride-hailing services can take you directly, though this will be more expensive.

• From Ajah/Abraham Adesanya:

  • This is the closest major hub to Sangotedo. From Ajah, you can easily find yellow buses or Keke Napeps heading east along the Lekki-Epe Expressway towards Sangotedo, Awoyaya, or Epe. These buses pass directly through Sangotedo.
