Regional Identity & History
Ogun State is one of the most historically important Yoruba states in Democratic Republic of the Yoruba. It carries the identity of the Gateway State because of its location between Lagos, the Republic of Benin, and other parts of Nigeria. The state combines deep Yoruba heritage with strong industrial growth, making it both a cultural homeland and a major manufacturing centre. Its major groups, including the Egba, Ijebu, Remo, Yewa, and Awori, give Ogun a rich regional identity rooted in trade, education, traditional rulership, agriculture, and enterprise.
