BRIEF ON OYO STATE
HISTORY AND GEOGRAPHY
Oyo State, which bears the sobriquet “the Pace-Setter
State”, came into existence consequent upon States creation exercise embarked upon since Nigeria’s independence in 1960.
Going down memory lane, Western Region was one of three Regions created by Macpherson Constitution of 1954 which introduced a high level of autonomy for the regions. Western region which was led by the late sage Chief Obafemi Awolowo as the first Head of Government and later Premier became self-governing in 1957 as a prelude to political independence of the country in 1960.
In 1963, the Mid-Western Region consisting of the present Edo and Delta States was excised from the region. Also in the 1967 State creation exercise, Western Region was renamed Western State. Furthermore, during the 1967 States creation exercise, both Ondo and Ogun States were carved from the Western State and what remained of the State was named OYO STATE.
In another nationwide State creation in 1991, Osun State was carved out of the old Oyo state. Ibadan, reputed to be the largest indigenous city in Africa, South of Sahara, has been the capital and Centre of Administration since then. Oyo State, popularly referred to as the “Pace Setter” is one of the constituent 36 States of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,
Brigadier, now Major-General David Medaiyese Jemibewon (rtd) was the first Military Governor of the State (1976-1978). His successor, Colonel, now Major Paul C. Tarfa, rtd (July, 1978- Sept.,
1979) midwived the transition to civil rule which ushered in the Second Republic on October 1, 1979.
Late Chief Bola was the first Executive Governor, 1979-1983. He was succeeded by Chief Victor Omololu Olunloyo, who was the second Executive Governor between October 1, 1983 and December 31, 1983. His tenure was truncated by the military take-over on December 31, 1983.
On 4th January 1984, Colonel (now Major-General Oladayo Popoola, rtd) came in as the Military Governor of the State. In September 1985, he passed the baton to Colonel, now Brigadier General Adetunji Idowu Olurin (rtd). It was the turn of late Colonel (later Brig. General) Adedeji Sasaenia Oresanya, who was sworn-in on 27th July, 1988.
On 3rd September, 1990, late Colonel, later Major-General AbdulKarim Adisa (Rtd) was posted to the State as Military Governor. It was during his tenure, precisely Tuesday, 27th August, 1991, that another nationwide State creation exercise was performed during which Osun State with the appellation “State of Living Spring” was carved out of Oyo State.
Late Chief Kolapo Olawuyi Ishola was sworn-in as the third Executive Governor of the State on January 2, 1992 at the inception of democratic rule in the Third Republic. He was there until November 17, 1993 when General Sanni Abacha came on board as the Military Head of State of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
At the return of the military in the governance of the country, Navy Captain, later Rear Admiral Adetoye Sode (rtd) was posted to Oyo State as Military Administrator on 9th December, 1993. Late Colonel Chinyere Ike Nwosu (Rtd) was the Military Administrator of the State between 1994 and 1996, while Col,

Otunba (Dr) Chirstopher Adebayo Alao-Akala was sworn-in on Thursday, 12th January, 2006 as the Executive Governor of Oyo State in order not to create a vacuum in government administration and to salvage the then existing political situation in the State culminating in the impeachment of Governor Rashidi Ladoja by the members of the House of Assembly. In December, 2006 Alhaji Rashidi Ladoja was reinstated by the Supreme Court of Nigeria judgement to continue as the Governor of Oyo State. In May 29th, 2007 Otunba (Dr) Chirstopher Adebayo Alao-Akala was sworn-in as the Governor of Oyo State. In May 29th, 2011 Senator Abiola Ajimobi came in as the incumbent Governor of Oyo State and he was there for the second term which made him to be the first Governor to be elected twice consecutively in the State.

The city grew around a legenday baobab tree from which it derived its name; it grew guickly, attracting warriors and refugees from the internecine wars that raged Yorubaland in the 28th century. Over the years, the diverse background of the early settlers has evolved into a sub-cultural mix that is unique in Yorubalnd. The system of promotion from Compound Head (Mogaji) to the throne is exclusive to the Ibadans. The people are spared the unhealthy rivalry and in-fighting that attends filling of vacant stools. The people were originally warriors and farmers but are now gainfully employed in all areas of human endeavor.

CLIMATE AND VEGETATION
There are two distinct seasons namely wet and dry seasons.
The wet season is the period for rainfall which is between April and October characterized by double maxima distribution in the
Southern part, a result of the influence of the South Westerly monsoon wind on the atmosphere. The dry season covers between November to March and is characterized by hot weather. Between December and early January, the hot weather is dry and accompanied by dust storms due to the effect of North-East trade winds. The rainfall pattern is remarkably constant ranging between 1, 211mm at Kishi in the far North and 1,264mm at Ibadan in the South over the past two decades. The average annual rainfall is estimated at between 1,194mm in the North and 1,278mm in the South. Mean temperature is 27oC while sunshine hours per day in the State capital ranges from 2.4 hours in August to 7 hours in February.
Base on the prevailing climatic and soil characteristics, three vegetational zones are identifiable in the state. These are Forest, Savannah and the derived Savannah. The Forest zone with high relative humidity favours the cultivation of tree crops such as Cocoa, Kola, Citrus and Oil Palm as well as arable crops like Maize, Cassava, Yam and Rice. Areas within Ibadan zone and up to Fiditi fall within the forest zone.
The derived savannah zone has a mixture of Forest and Savannah vegetations, Oyo, Ogbomoso, Ilora, Fashola, Eruwa and Lanlate fall within this zone. The Savannah zone favours mainly arable crops such as Sorghum, Maize, Cowpea and Yam with some pockets of land which can support tree crops. The wide expanse of land covered by Oyo zone in the South to saki zone is savannah.

BOWER’S TOWER
Relics and monuments of historical facts that surfaced
during the creation of Ibadan are the prestigious Bower’s Tower in Oke Are, Agodi Garden, Trans Amusement Park, First Television in Africa now NTA Ibadan, Museums in Alesinloye, Cocoa House at Dugbe, Mapo Hall at Oja’ba, Premier Hotel and many others that once made Ibadan a tourist’s delight.
Bower’s Tower is located on the summit of Oke-Are, the highest hill in Ibadan, from which one enjoys a commanding view of the city. Oke-Are (“The Army Chief’s Hill”) is the site central to Igbo-Agala (Agala Forest) in Sapati Area.
The monument was erected in 1836 as a memorial to Captain Robert Lister Bower, the first British resident in Ibadan and the Travelling Commissioner for the interior of Yoruba land (as the stiffly officious British termed his office), Southwestern Nigeria between 1893 and 1897.
According to S. Ademola Ajayi, Bower’s Tower is 60 feet high and 11 feet square with two entrances and a spiral staircase designed by Taffy Jones, the provincial engineer who also designed Mapo Hall. Natives of Ibadan nicknamed the tower ‘Layipo’, after the ladder-like spiral stairway to the top of the tower.
From the top of the Tower, the ancient city lays before you, spread out in her splendor; but today, getting to the peak of the Tower will not make one see more than 1/3 of the great city of warriors.
Bowers Tower, according to some of the residents around that place was a source of economic fortune to the people of the area. The traffic into the heritage site blossomed and the economic activity of its environment was a strong economic foundation for the growing generation.
AGODI GARDENS, IBADAN
This is a lovely park right in the midst of Ibadan. Agodi
Gardens spread over 13 acres of land. The delightful spot shares the same locality with the premier hotel, Cultural Centre, University College Teaching Hospital, State Government Secretariat, and Bodija Housing Estate. It was a place to be in Ibadan in the 70s and 80s to catch fun and enjoy a family outing. Second only to the popular University of Ibadan Zoological Garden, Agodi Gardens, Ibadan is a city recreational centre that any family or fun-seeking tourist would want to patronize.
25 26
Oyo State at a Glance 2020
Tucked in the heart of the Oyo State capital, the garden is located at the foot of Mokola Hill, backing the State Government Secretariat, Agodi and the western part of the expansive Agodi Government Reserved Area (GRA) which houses both the seat of the State Government, Governor’s Lodge and a prestigious Housing Estate.
While all these border Agodi Gardens on the eastern part, the recreational centre borders a lake, hilltop Premier Hotel and Cultural Centre on the west. The first teaching hospital in Nigeria, the University College Hospital (UCH) borders the centre on the southern part to give it an elitist and sophisticated environment.
Sprawling on a 35-hectre landed facility, the garden which was established as a biological and relaxation centre to provide recreational as well as educational services for inhabitants and visitors in 1967, as a foremost tourist centre.
ADO-AWAYE SUSPENDED LAKE Ado-Awaye Suspended Lake: The Heartbeat of Oke-Ogun
High in the sky soars the tranquil Iyake Lake, also known as
Ado-Awaye Lake, reposed graciously at the peak of Oke-Ado Mountain in Oyo State, South-West Nigeria. These mountains spread from Ado-Awaye town into the surrounding plains, standing imposingly above the verdant rainforests and they hold numerous natural, cultural and historical attractions which are of great spiritual significance to the Ado-Awaye people. Ado-Awaye town itself is a small town with its own unique but interesting history. In ancient time, Ado and Awaye settlements existed separately. The ancestors of the Adó people were forced to migrate from Awori Land to settle at the top of Oke-Ado Mountain because of the Dahomey war. The ancestors of the Ado people found favour in the eyes of the gods of the mountain and were kept safe till the war subsided. When the Ado people later descended the mountain to settle at its foothill, the nearby Àwáyè people also decided to settle with them, and hence the name Adó-Àwáyè by which the town is called till this day. While the Ado people lived on the mountain, they worshiped the mountain and revered the various unique natural formations they found on the mountain. It was said that barren women among the people at the time were able to give birth due to their devotion to the worship of the mountain. The tranquil Iyake Lake is one of the most revered attractions on the mountain. The ancestors of the Ado people believe that the lake is so powerful that whatever prayer is made with its water will yield supernatural results. It is also said that there are sixteen (16) gods on the Oke-Ado Mountain. These gods are embodied in specific natural landmarks on the mountain. Each of these landmarks constitutes tourist attraction on the mountain, lined up along the path which leads up the mountain. The first of all the landmarks is the Ìshàgé Rock, which is a large
27 28
Oyo State at a Glance 2020
elongate boulder of rock, balanced and standing upright on one of its small edges. The fact that this boulder has not fallen off the steep mountain side on which it rests remains a mystery to the Ado-Awaye people and tourists visiting the mountain. Ishage Rock is regarded as one of the most powerful among the gods on the mountain. It is said that it grants the wishes of people who prays at its foot. It was also said that whenever there is severe drought in the land, the chief priest of the mountain will visit the mountain and wrap a white cloth around the ‘waist’ of Ishage rock; rain will fall heavily upon the land that night and the Ishage Rock will drop off the white cloth.
ROYAL FOREST “IGBO OBA” IGBOHO
Igboho was the second settlement of Alaafin of Oyo Empire
after its first destruction by the Fulani jihadist and was then known as Oyo Igboho. It is situated on a plain but with hill locks all around. It was then the temporary Headquarters of Oyo Empire. It was a city famous for its magnificent city walls created and built for defensive purpose. However, Alaafin Ofinran who led the people to Igboho did on route Igboho whie his successor Alaafin Egungunoju or Egunoju finally led the people to Igboho in 1510. Four Alaafins were buried at a place called Royal Forest (Igbo-Oba) in Igboho. It is sacred place where hunting, cutting and any other things are forbidden. The four Alaafins (Royal Fathers) buried in the Royal Forest (Igbo-Oba) are Alaafin, Egungun Oju or Egunoju, Orompoto and Ajiboye Obamoro (Ghost Catcher that led the people back to Old Oyo (Oyo-ile) before final destruction in 1837.
OLD OYO NATIONAL PARK
Upper Ogun Game and Old Oyo were separated reserves
until 1963 when they were merged and re-named Upper Ogun Game Reserve. It is one of the national parks of Nigeria, located across Northern Oyo State and Southern Kwara State, Nigeria. The park has total land mass of 2,512 km2 and is located in South West park of Nigeria, specifically Northern Oyo State at latitude 8° 15’ and 9° 00’N and longitude 3° 35’ and 4° 42’ E. The location has inevitably placed the park at a vantage position of abundance land area as well as diverse wildlife and cultural/historical settings. Eleven Local Government Areas out of which ten (10) fall within Oyo State and one (1) in Kwara State surround it. The Administrative Head Office is located in Oyo, Isokun area along Oyo-Iseyin Road, where necessary information and booking could be made. The landscaping and organized space within the large yard has made the facility very endearing to the public. It is rich in plant and animal resources including buffaloes, bushbuck and a variety of birds. The park is easily accessible from South-Western and North-Western Nigeria. The nearest cities and towns adjoining Old Oyo National Park include Saki, Iseyin, Igboho, Sepeteri, Tede and Igbeti which have
29 30
Oyo State at a Glance 2020
their own commercial and cultural attractions for tourists. The park takes its name from Oyo-lle (Old Oyo), the ancient Political Capital of Oyo Empire of the Yoruba people, and contains the ruins of this city. Oyo Ile was destroyed in the late 18th century by Ilorin and Hausa/Fulani warriors at the culmination of the rebellion of Afonja, commander of Oyo Empire's provincial army for which he allied himself with Hausa/Fulani Muslim jihadists.
The national park originated in two earlier native administrative forest reserves, Upper Ogun established in 1936 and Oyo-lle established in 1941. These were converted to game reserves in 1952, then combined and upgraded to the present status of a National Park.
AGBELE ROCK FORMATION
This occurrence took place at Oke-Ogun Igbeti, Olorunshogo
Local Government Area of Oyo State.
Historically, there is this believe in the ancient time that nemesis follows every actions of a human being, which in the case of this woman who metamophorsed from a natural structure to a hill, one in human form. Everyone in Oke-Ogun, Igbeti, Olorunshogo Local Government Areas of Northern part of Oyo State believes the history of this rock called "Agbele" depicts a 19th century powerful and popular woman in the town. With a baby on her back, she went to a rocky side of the town to steal pieces of sliced yam being dried by sunlight. In those days, there is instant nemesis for every wrong action taken. Therefore this woman metamorphosed into a rock (just like Lots wife turning into salt in the Holy Bible). A critical look at the human-like structure; the stones above signify the calabash she put the piece of yam stolen on her head, then the back represent the baby she was backing, the stone in between represent the head while beneath being the body.
THE WONDERFUL GIANT TORTOISE, OGBOMOSO
31 32
Oyo State at a Glance 2020
CULTURAL ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATED WITH OYO PEOPLE
A giant male land tortoise believed to have lived in the palace of
the king of Ogbomoso for 344 years (died on Oct. 2019). The primeval town of Ogbomoso, the second largest city in Oyo State, has an ancient resident – a giant male land tortoise, which was acclaimed to have lived in the palace of the Soun (the king) of Ogbomosoland for 344 years until its death on 2nd October, 2019.
In Iine with its age, it is called Alagba, which means ”the elderly one” in Yoruba. And, in Ogbomoso, where the legendary tortoise lumbers about in the palatial grounds of the king, it is almost a sacrilege to refer to Alagba as a mere tortoise. It can carry full grown adult on its back but this has been discourage by the orders of the incumbent Soun HM Oba Jimoh Oladunni Ajagungbade III.
IREFIN PALACE, IBADAN
Here is an ancient palace, said to be over 200 years old, it
was built with mud and timber (wood), and yet still standing strong on the soils of Ibadan City, southwest Nigeria. This palace is located in the Tropical Rainforest Region of Nigeria, enduring over two centuries of countless rainfall and sunshine, and has not collapsed. This palace is definitely a unique cultural, scientific and historical object we must do all we can to preserve.
The Irefin palace belongs to one of the Royal families of Ibadan.The Irefin clans were warriors in the days of old who settled in the Ibadan area known then as a resting settlement for travelers. The palace was the abode of a powerful chief in Ibadan enclave, called “Ba’ale Irefin”, who ruled from 1912 to1914. Preserved at the ancient palace are ancient diaries showing old records of events that took place at the Irefin Palace in the olden days. Irefin Palace contains about One hundred and Eighty-Five (185) rooms and the building is still standing up till today. Among the numerous rooms in the palace are the clan’s ‘spiritual powerhouse’ and the judgment room where misunderstandings within the clan are resolved or punishment meted out to the iniquitous. It is worthy of note to mention here that a part of the palace was used in the popular old Nollywood movie Saworoide.
CULTURAL ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATED WITH OYO PEOPLE
Culturally, the Oyos are noted with the best hospitality in the
universe. Apart from the cuisines, the means of entertainment including the talking drum, sekere and other musical instruments. A peep into entertainment industry of the Oyos include the Dundun, Gelede, Sekere Egungun etc which are used culturally during traditional festivals and at times staged to welcome visitors.

DUNDUN TALKING DRUMS
Dundun drums are said to have originated from among the ibaruba ethnic group in a town called Saworo (just 18km from Saki) when the group was under the rule of old Oyo Empire. There are five drums in the set, namely: Gudugudu, Iya-Ilu, Omole isaju, Omole Ikeyin and Kerikeri or Agbada.
About five to six persons play the set at once with one or two persons in the reserve. There are other drums of dundun family such as Gangan or Adamo, Apala, Dadakuada or Pankeke.
GELEDE MASKS
Most Yoruba myths of origin can be found in the divination
narratives knows at Odu Ifa. There are approximately 256 Odu Ifa, each of which contains a number of poems called Ese Ifa. A typical Ese Ifa is a narrative about a person or animal with a problem and the steps to resolve that problem. An Ese Ifa explains, the origins of Gelede as beginning with Yemoja, "The Mother of all the orisa and all living things." Yemoja could not have children and consulted an Ifa oracle, who advised her to offer sacrifices and to dance with wooden images on her head and metal anklets on her feet. After performing this ritual, she became pregnant. Her first child was a boy, nicknamed "Efe" (the humorist); the Efe mask emphasizes song and jests because of the personality of its name sake. Yemoja's second child was a girl, nicknamed "Gelede" because she was obese like her mother. Also like her mother, Gelede loved dancing.
After getting married neither Gelede or Efe's partner could have children. The Ifa oracle suggested they try the same ritual that had worked for their mother. No sooner than Efe and Gelede performed these rituals- dancing with wooden images on their heads and metal anklets on their feet- they started having children. These rituals developed into the Gelede masked dance and were perpetuated by the descendants of Efe and Gelede.
This narrative is one of many stories that explains the origin of Gelede. An outdated theory states that the beginning of Gelede might be associated with the change from a matriarchal to a patriarchal society.

EGUNGUN MASQURADES
Egungun, in the broadest sense of the word, refers to all types of
Yoruba masquerades or masked, costumed figures. When used in its more specific, common sense, "Egungun" refers to the Yoruba masquerades connected with ancestor reverence, or to the ancestors themselves as a collective force. The singular form, for an individual ancestor, is Egun.
The classification of Egun or Egungun types, which might appear to be a fairly straightforward task, is in fact an extremely complex problem involving the comprehension of indigenous taxonomies. The difficulties include: the problem of distinguishing between personal Egun names and generic terms for types; the problem of determining "sets" where one masquerader may be regarded as within several type categories simultaneously; the practice of "layering," in which a masquerader wears one costume type over another and changes these during performance; and the variety of criteria used to classify Egungun as well as the range of variations within type categories. Such factors demonstrate the
complexity attending the analysis of indigenous taxonomies and the classification of masquerade types. These same difficulties arise in the definition and use of the term Egungun itself.
Amongst the Yoruba, the annual ceremonies in honor of the dead serve as a means of assuring their ancestors a place among the living. They believe the ancestors have the responsibility to compel the living to uphold the ethical standards of the past generations of their clan, town or family. The Egungun are celebrated in festivals, known as Odun Egungun, and in family ritual through the masquerade custom.
In family situations, a family elder known either formally or informally as "Alagba" presides over ancestral rites. He may or may not be initiated into the local Egungun society. In matters that deal with whole communities, Egungun priests and initiates who are trained in ancestral communication, ancestral elevation and funerary rites are assigned to invoke and bring out the ancestors. They wear elaborate costumes in masquerade. Through drumming and dance, the Egungun robed performers are believed to become possessed by the spirits of the ancestors, as manifested as a single entity. The Egungun spiritually clean the community through the dramatic acting and miming of the robed priests. They demonstrate both ethical and a moral behavior that have occurred since their last visit. In this way, they expose the strengths and weaknesses of the community to encourage behavior more befitting of their descendants. When this performance is completed, the performers as Egungun give messages, warnings and blessings to the assembled spectators.
Important Egungun include the Oloolu and Alapansanpa, both of Ibadanland. Elewe of the Ìgbómìnà Yoruba clan, which is
37 38
Oyo State at a Glance 2020
common in the towns of Òkè-Ìlá Òràngún, Ìlá Òràngún, and Arandun, is also of particular prominence.
In Brazil, the main cult of the Egungun is found on the island of Itaparica, in the State of Bahia. Houses of worship dedicated to the Egungun also exist in other states.
BLACKSMITH
Blacksmithing is a profession and is the art of forging items
out of metals, minerals, and other trade goods. Blacksmiths utilize bars of metal unearthed and smelted by the mining profession along with various trade and magical goods to produce their wares.
Blacksmiths work by heating pieces of wrought iron or steel until the metal becomes soft enough for shaping with hand tools, such as a hammer, anvil and chisel. Heating generally takes place in a forge fueled by propane, natural gas, coal, charcoal, coke or oil.
Some modern blacksmiths may also employ an oxyacetylene or similar blowtorch for more localized heating. Induction heating methods are gaining popularity among modern blacksmiths.
Color is important for indicating the temperature and workability of the metal. As iron heats to higher temperatures, it first glows red, then orange, yellow, and finally white. The ideal heat for most forging is the bright yellow-orange color that indicates forging heat. Because they must be able to see the glowing color of the metal, some blacksmiths work in dim, low-light conditions, but most work in well-light conditions. The key is to have consistent lighting, but not too bright. Direct sunlight obscures the colors.
The techniques of smithing can be roughly divided into forging (sometimes called "sculpting"), welding, heat-treating, and finishing.
TIE AND DYE
Tie-dye is a modern term invented in the mid-1960s in the
United States for a set of ancient resist-dyeing techniques, and for the products of these processes. The process of tie-dye typically consists of folding, twisting, pleating, or crumpling fabric or a garment and binding with string or rubber bands, followed by application of dye(s). The manipulations of the fabric prior to
39 40
Oyo State at a Glance 2020
application of dye are called resists, as they partially or completely prevent the applied dye from coloring the fabric. More sophisticated tie-dyes involve additional steps, including an initial application of dye prior to the resist, multiple sequential dye and resist steps, and the use of other types of resists (stitching, stencils) and discharge unlike regular resist-dyeing techniques, tie-dye is characterized by the use of bright, saturated primary colors and bold patterns. These patterns, including the spiral, mandala, and peace sign, and the use of multiple bold colors, have become cliched since the peak popularity of tie-dye in the 1960s and 1970s. The vast majority of currently produced tie-dyes use these designs, and many are mass-produced for wholesale distribution. However, a new interest in more 'sophisticated' tie-dye is emerging in the fashion industry, characterized by simple motifs, monochromatic color schemes, and a focus on fashionable garments and fabrics other than cotton.A few artists continue to pursue tie-dye as an art form rather than a commodity.
CLOTH WEAVING AT ISEYIN AND OGBOMOSO
The present system of weaving in Oyo State is only a modern revival of the craf that was once widespread in the country. Our grand-parents have been fashioning garments from wool, fix dye since the medieval times
The wears specialize in the production of beautiful and distinctive cloths from yarns which are often hand-spun and hand-dyed. Hand looms are used in a number of places in Oyo State till today, particularly in Iseyin which is generally referred to as the “Manchester of Oyo State”. Ogbomoso is also famous for the production of the poplar hand-woven cloth called “SANYAN”. Cloth is woven from wild silk and from locally grown cotton. A mixture of cotton threads and raphia is also woven into cloth, but is not used for clothing. Cotton is ginned on a block using an iron roller to squeeze out the seeds it is fluffed on a bow string, spun with simple spindle, and rewound into skeins ready for dyeing.
WOOD CARVING
In Yorubaland wood carver are men. There are two most
important tools which are the adze, with which sculptural forms are fashioned and the knife which is used in fininshing the surface and with the carving, incised paterns. Both sculpture and geometrical designs are considered as art (Ona), and those who “carve part” (gbenegbena) in making figurines are distinguish from those who simply “carve wood” (gbegigbegi) into mortars, pestle and utilitarian

owls. The formers are also known as “those who make art” (onisona), along with the embroiderers and leather workers. Of all the visual arts, wood carving accounts for the greatest variety of decorated and sculptural forms. Carved tools are used during initiation ceremonies of deities.

FORESTRY ACTIVITIES
Agodi Gardens – Historic perspective, Recreational Facilities
Agodi garden began as part of Ogunpa Dam Plantation which was established in 1936. The initial objective of the 80-hectare forest reserve was to control the flow of the ogunpa
45 46
Oyo State at a Glance 2020
stream into a land basin which was later made into a dam to supply pipe-born water to Government residential quarters.
The species diversity of the reserve was expanded by Forestry Department of the State Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources with the planning of several tree species such as Cassia, Arere, Oganwo, Pine, Afara, Sida, Eucalyptus, Anthocephalus, Teak etc. The trees were planted in arboreta, holding a lot of educational and aesthetic appeal.
The activities of successive Governments in citing other projects like Premier Hotel, Cultural Centre and Oba Akinbiyi High Schools I and II reduced the size of the reserve to 42 hectares. This remaining part of the original reserve was christened Agodi Gardens in 1967, commissioned for public use as a recreation centre and a Zoological Section phased out. Left there now are the green park and amenity nurseries. Reserves and Plantations Establishment of private wood lot is not enticing to the public due to the long gestation period of the trees. Thus, Government is still the owner of most plantations in the State.
The forest reserves are mainly for timber production. Some fuel wood and pole plantations are established mainly for fuel wood supply through thinning while those that could survive the thinning activities are then processed as poles. The fuel wood in those days were mainly supplied to the Nigerian Tobacco Company (NTC) while the poles were supplied to the then Posts and Telegraphs (P&T) now NIPOST and NITEL.

Sports and Stadium
Oyo State was the nucleus of sporting activities under the country’s regional arrangement. It produced men and women of national and international status. The first national stadium named Liberty Stadium now Obafemi Awolowo Stadium located in Ibadan, the State Capital, was commissioned in 1959. The arena had been used for international and national competitions. It was, however, taken over in 1977 by the Federal Government.
The Lekan Salami Sports Complex Adamasingba, Ibadan has since been constructed as a replacement by the State Government.
