Ayetoro is about 35 km northwest of Abeokuta, a town in south-west part of Nigeria and the capital of Ogun State.
[1] It is connected to Lagos by road and rail and serves as the shipping centre for an area in which cocoa, cassava, cowpea and maize are produced.
The landform is that of eroded pediment plain with wells incised valleys forming a trellis pattern.
The soils are developed over a deeply weathered layer of sedimentary rocks consisting of false bedded sandstones which underlies the area.
The sediments are of lower cretaceous rocks or Abeokuta formation (Smyth and Montgomery, 1962) which spread monotonously in northwest and southwest directions.
