Sagamu, Local government area in Ogun State, Nigeria

Sagamu sits along the Ibu River and Eruwuru Stream between Lagos and Ibadan, comprising thirteen distinct towns across the administrative region.

The formation of Sagamu occurred during the mid-19th century when members of the Remo branch of Yoruba people established settlements in the area.

The Akarigbo of Remo, residing in the Offin district, leads the traditional governance structure with four ruling families entitled to wear beaded crowns.

The region maintains its position as Nigeria's primary kola nut collection center, while also supporting substantial limestone mining and cement production operations.

The local administrative structure divides Sagamu into three development areas: Sagamu West, Sagamu Central, and Sagamu South LCDA for enhanced governance.
