Capital of Ogun State, in southwestern Nigeria. A few large-scale industrial establishments, as well as trade, personal services, finance and insurance services comprise the local economy. Abeokuta is also an agricultural trade centre and an exporting point for various commodities.
The population of Abeokuta is growing rapidly, mainly due to natural causes, immigration and rural-to-urban migration. The population almost doubled from about , in according to the population census to over , in Due to rural-urban economic exchanges and part of the population residing outside the urban area, day and night population shifts require commuting between urban and rural areas of the state.
Although Ogun State is responsible for overall urban and physical planning, there are no specific institutional structures able to oversee governance and urban management for the metropolitan area of Greater Abeokuta. A lack of up-to-date urban planning frameworks has led to uncoordinated development in Abeokuta.
The impact of this has demonstrated itself in urban sprawl and an increasing disconnect between land use and realised projects. The preparation and establishment of a new forward looking Master Plan for Abeokuta will allow for the definition of a strategic vision that, in the long term, could guide the city towards more sustainable urban development.
The development of the Master Plan aims to contribute to a more cohesive urban fabric with improved connectivity and accessibility across the city.
Across Abeokuta, 20 blighted areas have been identified, mainly within the older parts of the city. These areas are often home to traditional communities with ancestral cemeteries, lacking municipal services such as water, sanitation, refuse collection and disposal, drainage facilities, street lighting, paved footpaths and public facilities such as schools and medical clinics.
