Ejigbo, Local Government Area in Osun State, Nigeria

Ejigbo extends across 373 square kilometers of land, positioned 40 kilometers northwest of Osogbo, the capital city of Osun State.

The settlement was established by Akinjole Ogiyan, a descendant of Oduduwa, and later aligned with Ibadan forces during the military campaigns of 1840-1866.

The annual Orisa Ogiyan festival marks the beginning of yam harvests, featuring traditional group whipping competitions among the local population.

The central Oja Ejigbo market operates every Saturday, drawing merchants and customers from surrounding regions for trade in agricultural products.

The area achieved recognition in 2008 as the leading producer of live catfish in Osun State, contributing to regional agricultural development.
