Oyo Atijo
The Ancient Capital
Regional Identity & History
Oyo Atijo State represents the ancient northern wing of Yorubaland, rooted in the history of the Old Oyo Empire and the Yoruba-speaking communities of present-day Kwara State. With Jeba/Jebba as the proposed capital, the state would stand as a bridge between the Yoruba Southwest and the River Niger corridor. Its strength lies in agriculture, trade, education, cultural heritage, cashew processing, textile crafts, and its historical connection to the power and memory of Old Oyo.
