The State is bordered by Kwara and Kogi State to the North, Osun State to the West and Ondo State to the East and to the South. The State is majorly an agrarian State as agriculture accounts for over 75% of the income and employment of the total population of the State. However, due to the lack of proper infrastructure in the State, its potentials for revenue generation have largely been untapped thereby hampering growth.
