The Terrible Abeokuta - Sango - Lagos Road. Is There Any Alternative Route? by Danycrusoe(op): 3:48pm On Jul 31, 2024
I went for a job interview in Sango Ota last week and I'm not sure I have gone on a trip on a worse road than that. Multiple one-way traffic along that axis and the Sango-ota city bridge itself has a reservoir lane underneath where water is pumped out of on a daily basis.

The roads are indescribably bad and terrible but somehow, I got the job I went for and the only issue I have been thinking of is the bad road. This is because I'll still have to move to and fro Abeokuta more frequently and I want to avoid the road at all cost.

That's why I'm asking, is there any alternative route? Off hand I created the Abeokuta to Ebutte Meta by train then take a bus to Sango from Ebutte Meta. Also someone told me of an ilaro trip that will avoid that route from Abeokuta. If you have better suggestions, please drop below in the comment section.

If you complain now, some resident ediots will counter u and narrate how the Presidebt has turned Nigeria to Eldorado already

Their is another route, but that's if you have your own car, after iyanapaja, if you are facing abule egba you will make a u turn at super, and follow a inner road .it will be much better with your google map..if you follow the route, you will just come out at the bridge which you would have leave those bad road behind..

Thank you but unfortunately, I don't have my own car. Someone just told me I could go to Oshodi from Abeokuta then board Sango from Oshodi. I don't know how feasible or easy that is.

Either take a train from Abeokuta to Agege, then a bus back to Sango.

Second option (it's far though) is to go from Abeokuta to Interchange then to Berger. From Berger, you'd get Sango straight or move in bits (Berger to Agege, then Agege to Sango).

Plying Abeokuta to Sango route can chisel out 5% from a person's lifetime.

Please, i have to go to Ilaro and last time i took the iyanapaja ifo route in public transport and it was quite bad. Lots of bad road sections and one way. I need to go again(from berger) and i'm considering the berger-interchange-abeokuta-ilaro route. Is there anyone with recent experience plying this route? I'm planning on driving.

Once you are going from berger, for smooth road you don't need to go through iyanapaja anymore, just go through sagamu interchange and link your destination,..it might b longer but good for smooth road..
