Sagamu, situated between Lagos and Ibadan in Ogun State, serves as the capital of the Remo Kingdom. Founded in the mid-19th century, this conurbation comprises thirteen towns united for defense and trade. It is a significant industrial hub, notably for cement production and as Nigeria's largest kola nut collecting center. The city boasts rich Yoruba heritage, with the Akarigbo's palace in Offin, and hosts the Olabisi Onabanjo University medical college. Its strategic location makes it a key stop for travelers navigating southwestern Nigeria.

Offin is the seat of the Akarigbo, offering deep cultural immersion. Sabo and Makun are bustling commercial hubs with convenient amenities. The GRA (Government Reserved Area) typically provides quieter accommodations suitable for business travelers seeking proximity to administrative centers.
Sagamu lacks an airport; travelers typically access it via Lagos or Ibadan. Its position on the route between these major cities makes it an ideal transit stop. Local transport relies on road networks, so plan ground travel from major hubs accordingly.
While visitable year-round, the dry season offers better conditions for exploring the kola nut markets and industrial sites. Avoiding heavy rains ensures smoother travel between Lagos and Ibadan through this strategic corridor.
