This old Council was broken to ATISBO, Saki East and Saki West. The Local Government shares boundary with Saki, in Saki West, Tede in Atisbo and Igboho in Oorelope local governments. Apart from these principal towns, there are hundreds of districts and they include Ogunlere, Laipapa, Ajandaku, Sango, Wiliki, Yanrin funfun, Arugede and Kaaka all in Oje-Owode, Alagolo and Buda Banki at Ago-Amodu and Mangoro, Imodi, Woru, Aloba, Aba Nla, Kusiji, Onkosa in Sepeteri, Yikiyiki, Mafowuro sere, Odo-Ogun, Alaparun, Amititi, Amukoko, Alakia in Ogbooro and many others in Agbonle.

Saki East is predominantly by the Yorubas, but they have a lot of non-nationals who come there to settle as farmers, including Fulani/Bororo, who find the pasture in the area beneficial to their animals. People there are predominantly farmers and their soil accommodate virtually all plants and crops. Farmers in the area are second to none when it comes to product of food and cash crops like cassava, yam, maize, wheat, while cashew and mango are produced in large quantity. All the principal towns have their markets which are five days intervals across the Local government, thus Ogbooro market, Ago-Amodu market, Oje-Owode market, if you have opportunity to see mountains of yam and valleys of other farm produce. At Sepeteri there are Araromi and Owode markets just as there are others in Ogbooro and Agbonle. All these markets form sources of revenue for the Local Government, the commercial institutions like Banks, Saw-mills, mills, petrol filling station and other levies on motorist, and development levies. Due to the wideness of the local government there are 156 primary schools (both public and private) and eleven (11) public secondary schools and about 6 private schools-scattered across the Local Government area.
