The Oyo State Government has begun a Reverification exercise for property owners on the first phase of the Senator Rashidi Ladoja Circular Road, Ibadan, who are yet to receive compensation.
Chairman of monitoring committee for the payment of compensation to affected property owners on the first phase of the project, CP Sunday Odukoya (rtd), said on Monday that the reverification exercise will capture over 900 persons, who were omitted during the initial compensation exercise.
Recall that the Oyo State Government, on April 22, 2026, approved the sum of N5.8 billion as compensation to another tranche of property owners affected by the arterial road project in addition to earlier compensation paid to hundreds of affected property owners.
According to Odukoya, beginning from Monday, 27th April, 2026, property owners affected in the first phase of the 110km Circular Road, who were omitted in the prior compensation exercise, should go to the Ministry of Lands or the office of the Executive Assistant on Security to the governor, who also doubles as the chairman of the verification committee, to check for their names.
He said that the affected persons should bring along the following documents; Local Government identification letter/residence permit for non-indigenes of the state; survey plan of the property/farmland; drawings of the property plan/farmland; photograph of the property plan/farmland; land purchase agreement and sworn affidavit from Court/ Ministry of Justice.
Other required documents include: Letter of Power of Attorney from the Ministry of Justice (for proxy purposes); five (5) current passport photographs of claimants; National Identification Number (NIN) of claimants; five (5) current passport photographs of the guarantor/surety; guarantor’s/ surety’s means of Identification (NIN); bank details of claimants including name, bank and account number and phone number.
The committee chairman tasked the intending claimants to bring along other documents as may be determined necessary by the Monitoring Team as well as a letter of recommendation from the landlord association in the affected axis.
