Market days
There are two markets, Olobu and Adio markets, which are held at five days intervals although there is also a daily night market in the town.
Olobu market
Situated along Ilobu-Ifon Osun road, it is one of the oldest markets in Yorubaland and it comes up every 3 day. It is the best place to buy and sell stable and cash crops, jewelries, plantains, citrus fruit, yams, cassava, sorghum, beans, okra, peppers, and gourds. Cash crops such as cocoa, cotton, tobacco, palm oil, and palm kernels are collected and sold at Ilobu.
Livestock, including dwarf cattle, goats, sheep, chickens, ducks, and guinea fowl, are also an important part of the town's economy. Weaving and dyeing are the prominent traditional crafts. Ilobu is connected by road to Ogbomosho and Oshogbo. Population (1995) 194,400. The market attracts a lot of people from within and outside Ilobu most especially from around the neighbouring cities, towns and villages. One of the remarkable things about OLOBU market is the largeness of its size and the ability to and it is normally held from morning to noon.
Adio market
Situated along Ilobu-Ire-akari-Erin Osun road, it is an everyday market in Ilobu where food stuff and other goods are being sold. The market attracts a lot of people from within and outside Ilobu and it is normally held from morning to noon.
Future development
With the establishment of Irepodun Local Government in 1976, there is every hope that Government will come to the aid of the town and with the new sense of pride and identity which the people now posses, it is hoped that the rate of development of llobu will increase remarkably.

The planning of llobu has assumed a new dimension since the establishment by law of the town planning authority. The Osun State Town Planning Authority has exerted considerable influence on the town.
