Ibadanland comprises of 127 elected councillors from the 11 Local Government Areas, the Councillors are responsible for agreeing policies about provision of services and how the ward's money is spent. The ward employs officers who are responsible for its day to day management.

Councillors decide which policies the district should pursue, ensure that they are carried out and monitor services provided to ensure that they are delivered in the most efficient and effective way.

The local councillor represents a constituency (known as a Ward) and is there to represent the views and opinions of local people. It is also his or her responsibility to assist those with difficulties which the ward could help solve.

To do this they have regular contact with the general public through ward meetings, telephone calls or surgeries. Surgeries provide an opportunity for any ward resident to go and talk to their councillor face to face and many councillors hold these on a regular basis.
