Agege, Local government area in Lagos, Nigeria
The administrative region spans across multiple neighborhoods within Lagos State, bordered by Abule Egba, Ikeja, Iyana Ipaja, and Ogba districts.
Established in 1954, Agege emerged from kola nut plantations where tree cutters worked, leading to its name derived from the Yoruba phrase age igi.
The district maintains strong connections to Yoruba traditions through its Awori community leadership structure, markets, and regular community gatherings.
The Agege Pen Cinema flyover bridge, completed in 2021, connects major roads and reduces traffic congestion throughout the local government area.
The district produces a distinct type of bread, known across Lagos State for its soft texture and extended shelf life without preservatives.
