Although Igbesa is located in a rural agricultural setting, however, within 50 km radius of the site are highly urbanized areas. Foremost is the concentration of population called Lagos Metropolitan area, which has extended swiftly to neighboring towns like Ota, Ifo and Igbesa. There is also the neighboring town of Agbara, which has industrial estates hosting manufacturing plants of multinational companies like Nestle, Evans, Unilever, GlaxoSmithKline, PhamaDeko, Colodense Dumex etc. There are also residential estates built by both government housing corporations and private real estate companies. Linkages would be developed with these multinational companies for purposes of research, curricular development and exchange of expertise. In addition, the companies would provide avenues for placement of students who are on industrial attachment.
