Layout – The community is organised around one main internal road, known as Enogie Road. The road begins at its junction with Upper Airport Road and runs through the community, ending at a T-junction where it meets the road leading from Ulemon.

If you're familiar with Benin City, this connecting road from Ulemon originates from Ekenwan Road, close to Asoro Junction. It passes through 1st Utagban and connects several communities, including Evbuodia, Ulemon and Evbuovbioba. The road eventually reaches Evbuekhae, where it branches in two directions: the right branch leads to Mango Mango, near Ekenwan Army Barracks, while the left branch connects to the lower part of Upper Airport Road.

(The bottom line is that Benin City has an excellent network of roads connecting its various neighbourhoods and communities)
