Abeokuta South, Local government area in Ogun State, Nigeria
Located at coordinates 7.15°N and 3.35°E, Abeokuta South encompasses multiple wards including Ake, Ijemo, Itoko, and Ijaiye, forming a substantial administrative region.
The territory became an independent local government in 1991 during General Ibrahim Babangida's administration, separating from the original Abeokuta Local Government established in 1977.
The area maintains three annual festivals - Egungun, Igunuko, and Oro - while preserving traditional crafts such as pottery production in Ijaiye and textile dyeing in Itoku.
The region contains 35 kilometers of paved roads maintained by the works department, with transportation exclusively occurring through the road network system.
The territory holds the distinction of being Nigeria's first independent state, establishing the pioneering local government administration system in the country.
