Ikorodu, Local government area in Lagos State, Nigeria
Ikorodu spans across a large territory northeast of Lagos, bordered by the Lagos Lagoon and containing numerous residential districts and commercial centers.
The settlement originated from Sagamu migrants who established a trading post in the mid-19th century, later gaining independence through conflicts with Ijebu overlords.
The population includes Christians, Muslims, and followers of traditional beliefs, speaking predominantly the Ijebu dialect of the Yoruba language.
The area contains 69 public primary schools, 12 secondary schools, and multiple higher education institutions, including Lagos State University of Science and Technology.
The Imota rice mill, established in 2021, processes 2.8 million bags annually, ranking among the largest rice processing facilities in sub-Saharan Africa.
