About this place
Ebute Ikorodu is a rapidly growing city within Lagos State, situated along the northern shore of the Lagos Lagoon. With a population nearing one million, it has transformed from a historic farming settlement into one of the fastest-expanding hubs in the Lagos metropolis, drawing a steady stream of new residents from surrounding towns and Ogun State.
The city traces its roots back to the 17th century, taking its name from the Yoruba phrase oko-odu — "farm of odu" — a reference to a plant once cultivated here and valued for its darkening properties. Today, Ebute Ikorodu blends this deep heritage with the energy of modern Lagos, offering visitors a mix of waterfront access, sacred cultural sites, and a busy local economy.

Planning Tips
- Use BRT for comfort — When traveling from central Lagos, the air-conditioned BRT buses offer a reliable and comfortable ride compared to smaller minibusses.
- Try the ferry — MetroFerry and Lagferry services connect Ebute Ero, CMS, Falomo, and Addax jetties to Ikorodu quickly, bypassing road traffic entirely for a fare of ₦500–700.
- Carry small bills for local transport — Minibuses, tricycles, and motorcycles are the main way to get around within Ikorodu; having ₦50–100 notes on hand makes paying for short rides easier.
- Plan daytime arrivals for remote areas — Reaching outlying neighborhoods late at night can be difficult, so schedule visits to less central spots earlier in the day.
