Geographic Overview of Agboyi Ketu

Agboyi Ketu is located in the eastern part of Lagos State. It is officially under the Kosofe Local Government Area (LGA). However, it is managed as a Local Council Development Area (LCDA) known as Agboyi-Ketu LCDA.

The area is bordered by several popular Lagos hubs. To the north, you have Mile 12 and Ikosi. To the south, you have Ogudu and Alapere. To the west is Ojota, and to the east is the Lagos Lagoon, which leads to parts of Ikorodu. A unique thing about Agboyi Ketu is that it is divided into two parts: the land area (where the shops and main roads are) and the riverine area (Agboyi 1, 2, and 3) which you can only reach by boat or canoe.
