Residents heading to work, school or markets along the Ikorodu–Owode–Mile 12–Ketu–Ojota–Maryland corridor should allow extra travel time following weekend traffic disruption and roadworks.
This advisory draws on weekend reports. Monday morning traffic conditions and fares have not yet been confirmed.
For Kosofe residents, the sections to check before departure are Owode Elede, the approaches to Mile 12 and the Ketu stretch. Lagos Traffic Radio reported construction towards Mile 12 and rehabilitation at Owode Elede on Saturday, October 31. Another update that day recorded a queue extending from the Owode Elede construction site back to Irawo.
Passengers also faced difficult choices. KIO correspondent Olawale Ibrahim reported Saturday danfo fares of ₦700 from Ketu to Owode and ₦1,000 from Ketu to Ajegunle, with many commuters walking towards Owode Weighbridge.
Those were Saturday’s charges, not a confirmed fare guide for today.
What residents should do this morning
Check your direction before leaving. An update for vehicles heading towards Ikorodu may not describe conditions towards Ketu, Ojota or Maryland.
Confirm the fare and destination before boarding. Ask whether the bus will complete the journey or terminate earlier.
Allow for connections. Leave extra time if you must change buses at Mile 12, Ketu or Ojota.
Plan school journeys carefully. Use pedestrian bridges and designated crossings rather than walking children between vehicles.
Check fresh traffic information before dispatching goods, particularly for deliveries involving Mile 12 Market.
BRT passengers should also allow flexibility. Premium Times documented delays on Friday and Saturday as other vehicles occupied the dedicated corridor. That report does not establish BRT conditions this morning.
Listen to Lagos Traffic Radio 96.1FM and check fresh LASTMA updates before departure. No diversion route has been verified for this advisory, and the weekend reports do not establish congestion along the entire Ikorodu–Maryland route.
Residents need a clear works timetable and access plan from the responsible agencies, particularly where construction affects daily journeys and market access.
