The district incorporates multiple ethnic communities, with Yoruba traditions manifesting through local markets, textile trading, and neighborhood celebrations.

The region contains essential transportation links, including the Third Mainland Bridge connecting the mainland sectors to Lagos Island and Victoria Island.

The area maintains one of Nigeria's largest concentrations of educational facilities, housing multiple universities and research centers within its boundaries.
