Description of Oyo State 

The eastern part of Oyo was split off to form the new state of Osun in 1991, reducing the size of Oyo. Kwara State to the north, Osun State to the east, Ogun State to the south, and the Republic of Benin to the west make up Oyo's borders. The northern Yoruba Hills cut through Oyo state. In the south, near the state capital of Ibadan, you'll find a patch of tropical rain forest, while the majority of the state is covered by a "derived" savanna, created after forests were burned to make way for farmland.

The Yoruba people make up the large majority of Oyo State's population, and their language continues to be the most widely spoken. The modern-day Oyo State, sometimes known as the "Pace Setter State," is located on land that was historically ruled by a number of different kingdoms and empires.

From roughly 1300 to 1896, the Oyo Empire was a dominant Yoruba power in the region. The current city of Oyo was established in the 1830s and is known as "New y" (y tbà) to differentiate itself from the former capital to the north, "Old y" (y-Ilé), which was the site of the empire's center of power. Oyo's Alaafin still plays a symbolic role in the city's rituals today.

The Institution of Ibadan, Nigeria's first university, opened in Oyo State in 1948. The city of Shaki, in the state's western region, is often referred to as the "breadbasket" of the country. Among the most vital crops to Oyo State's economy are cassava, cocoa, and tobacco.
