IBADAN SOUTH EAST LOCAL GOVERNMENT
Ibadan South East Local Government Area was carved out of the defunct Ibadan Municipal Government (IMG) in 1991. The Local Government Area inherited the Administrative Headquarter of the IMG at Mapo. It covers a land area of 58.251 square kilometers with 2010 estimated population of 301,775, using a growth rate of 3.2% from 2006 census. It has a population density of 5,181 persons per square kilometer. The Local Government area shares boundaries with Ibadan South West and North East Local Governments. Oluyole Local Government Area also bound it to the south.
It is an urban area and therefore no farming activity is taking place. Yoruba and other tribes dominate the area. The residents are engaged in various economic activities ranging from trading, transportation business and civil service.
The symbols of tradition are evident in the Local Government Area. The official residence of Olubadan of Ibadan, the Mapo Hall, statue of Hero of Ibadan, Iba-Oluyole at Beere roundabout, Efunsetan at Orita Challenge Ibadan among others are located in the area.
