Über diese Trap
Most visitors arrive by road from Lagos, and the corridor has been under repair. Ogun State flagged off the reconstruction of the Abeokuta to Ota road in 2024, and federal crews began rehabilitating the Lagos end, from Ile Zik to Owode, in February 2026, with partial lane closures. Leave early, build a buffer before any onward connection, and ask your driver about the current work zones before you set off.
