Ojota provides easy access for people who want to travel to other parts of Nigeria as it has one of the major car parks in Lagos State.
The highlights of Ojota include; China Town which serves as a home, tourist site or relaxation spot for numerous people including Chinese expatriates, the Gani Fawehinmi Garden and Abiola Gardens. The Ojota Market which comprises of several plazas, stalls, and shopping malls, is the main market that serves the people in the area.
