History
Egbedore South Local Council Development Area (LCDA) and Egbedore Area Council were created out of Egbedore for administrative convenience, better development planning and to bring government closer to the grassroots. The LCDA is created by the Government of Osun State and is responsible for funding the council, and it is headed by a chairman, vice chairman and other executive and legislative branches similar to the federally recognised local councils. Fawande Oyewole is the current chairman of Egbedore South LCDA, and Usamat Azeez Ademola is the chairman of Egbedore Area Council.
