Isanlu is the political, social, and cultural center of the Yagba East, Mopa-Muro, and Yagba West local government areas. It is mainly populated by the indigenous Okun people.[1]
Isanlu is populated by mainly farmers, and a few traders.[1] This is mainly because of lack of infrastructure and development in the town.[3]
