Due to its major road networks, the town became a commercial center, allowing trading activities with other towns nearby such as Mushin and Agege; it also served as a commercial entry point into the mainland and Lagos Islands such as Ikeja and Ogudu until recently within the last few years, when Apapa and Festac took over most of the import and export business activities.
