Geographic Overview of Ojo

Ojo is a Local Government Area (LGA) in Lagos State. It is located in the western part of the state. It shares boundaries with Alimosho and Amuwo-Odofin LGAs to the east and north, and it stretches towards Badagry to the west. To the south, Ojo is bounded by the Lagos Lagoon, which is why there are several jetties in the area for water transport.

The terrain is mostly flat, but because of the ongoing construction on the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, some parts can be dusty or muddy depending on the season. The most popular landmarks in Ojo include the Ojo Military Cantonment, the Alaba International Market (the largest electronics market in Africa), and the main campus of Lagos State University (LASU).
