Hundred Thousand; has government primary and secondary schools; a health centre;
several private nursery and primary schools; mosques and churches, police post, security
agencies and a home to the incoming University of Medical Sciences. There is electricity supply to the town that is connected to the national grid.

homestead, and they are solemnly making this request for the enthronement of an Olu of Orile Erunwon in Kajola to join the council of Obas in Ogun state to attract more development to the town.
