This city of 228,382 people may not be the idyllic tropical paradise some imagine. The cement industry and kola nut trade dominate the economy, and the bureaucracy is a persistent headache. The climate is hot and humid, with a lengthy rainy season that can make daily life a challenge. Despite its position between major urban centers, Sagamu is unlikely to appeal to the average expat looking for an easy transition abroad.
