In 2002, the new Salesian presence in Ibadan Archdiocese started. With the financial support of the ICP Circumscription, the Post Novitiate House was completed in Ogungbade, a developing area in the outskirts of Ibadan. The first batch of Post Novices arrived there in September 2005. The community has an Institute of Philosophy, which the Novices from the Novitiate in Ghana move to after their studies. The Don Bosco Institute of Philosophy is also open to lay people wishing to obtain degrees in philosophy, youth ministry, and pedagogical certifications.

The community also has a Youth Centre, Child Protection Centre (CPC), a Chapel, camp grounds, and holiday camp. With the Pastoral Centre accommodation, and the Formation House, the environment encourages the study of education. The CPC has a street children home and programme, targeted at helpless children in the Ibadan environ.
