Ago-Oba is an electoral ward 13 in the city of Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria. It is part of the Abeokuta South Local Government Area. Has about 250 Village in England

## Location

Ago Oba (Camp of the Oba) is a community in the Egba section of Abeokuta whose people claim to originate from the ancient Oba Kingdom. It is not clear whether Ago Oba was formed due to the migration of Egba people during the 19th Century Yoruba wars, or whether the people arrived at an earlier time.in AugustThe villages under the Oba Kingdom are as follows: Pakudi Village, Agbamaya Village, Lodan Village, Okuribido Village, Abule Tuntun Village, Olorunda Village, Ikeja Village, Omilende Village, Agbanikanda Village, Igboti Village and Akija Village
The main economic activities are trading, textile making, artisan work and transportation activities. Houses tend to be occupied by anywhere from six to twenty people, using shallow wells for water. This water does not meet World Health Organization standards, and when untreated creates a serious health risk. In the past, the ward has been subject to perennial flooding, but recently efforts have been made to improve the drainage. The Anglican community in the Ago-Oba Parish is served by St. Michael's Church.
