Ibadan — the ancient city of seven hills — is entering a new chapter. The Oba Rasheed Adewolu Ladoja Circular Road Project is one of the most ambitious infrastructure developments in Oyo State’s history, designed to connect all major entry and exit points around the Ibadan metropolis thereby creating future cities in Ibadan.
But this isn’t just a road.
It’s the spinal cord of future growth, a highway of possibilities that will reshape the real estate investment landscape of Ibadan for decades to come.
At DEVALOP, we’ve analyzed every community along the proposed route to help you understand where the next property boom will happen — and where your next investment should as a real estate investor in Ibadan, or resident.
Discover the complete list of Ibadan communities set to be impacted and benefit from the ongoing Rasheed Adewolu Ladoja Circular Road Project. Learn how this massive infrastructure will transform local governments like Oluyole, Egbeda, Lagelu, Ona Ara, Akinyele, and Ido into future real estate investment hotspots in Oyo State.

Ibadan’s Future Cities — Powered by the Circular Road
The Rasheed Adewolu Ladoja Circular Road is shaping Ibadan into a 21st-century metropolis, connecting growth corridors across Oluyole, Egbeda, Lagelu, Ona Ara, Akinyele, and Ido.
This is the beginning of new real estate frontiers — places where early investors will reap exponential returns.
Oba Rasheed Adewolu Ladoja Circular Road is a project with three sides; the good, the bad, and the ugly.
As current residents and property owners in some of these areas, the thought of Ibadan Circular Road might not sound pleasing – that’s the bad. To the government, this is what needs to be done in order to deliver the Oyo State property development framework that has been set in motion over a decade ago – that’s the good (with a clear intent). To investors, the opportunity to own a premium property at a discount price is a welcoming idea – we take this as the ugly, except it is professionally handled to avoid being scammed.
But in all fairness, all parties needs to exercise caution. The government needs to find a way to compensate some of the displaced property owners in these axis – consistent engagement is needed. Intending investors needs to conduct an in-depth research and background checks in order not to fall into the wrong hands of fake omo oniles. Existing property owners must find a way to adapt to the reality and liaise with the government in finding an alternative solution.
