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 the monitoring committee for the payment of compensation to affected property owners on the first phase of the project, CP Sunday Odukoya (rtd), disclosed this on Monday.
According to him, the reverification exercise will capture over 900 persons who were omitted during the initial compensation exercise.
Recall that the Oyo State Government, on 22 April, 2026, approved the sum of ₦5.8 billion as compensation to another tranche of property owners affected by the circular road project, in addition to earlier compensation paid to hundreds of affected property owners.
Odukoya stated that, beginning from Monday, 27 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 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 current passport photographs of claimants; National Identification Number (NIN) of claimants;
Five 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 monitoring committee chairman tasked intending claimants to bring along other documents as may be deemed necessary by the Monitoring Team.
He added that they should as well bring with them a Letter of Recommendation from the landlord association in the affected axis of the Circular Road.
