Oyo Begins Verification for Circular Road Compensation

The Oyo State Government has announced plans to begin verifying property owners affected by the second segment of the Senator Rashidi Ladoja Circular Road project as part of preparations for compensation payments.

The exercise is scheduled to commence on Monday, November 16, 2026, and will cover properties along the corridor stretching from Badeku Village on the Ife-Ibadan axis to the Moniya-Iseyin Road end.

The announcement was contained in a statement issued in Ibadan on Friday by the Special Adviser to Governor Seyi Makinde on Media, Sulaimon Olarenwaju.

The government urged affected property owners to participate in the verification exercise and present the required documents to establish ownership and support their compensation claims.

Documents listed for the exercise include local government identification letters or residence permits for non-Nigerians, property survey plans, building or property plan drawings, photographs of affected properties and land purchase agreements.

Claimants are also required to provide sworn affidavits obtained from a court or the Ministry of Justice, as well as letters of Power of Attorney issued through the Ministry of Justice where representatives are making claims on their behalf.

Other requirements include the claimant’s National Identification Number, five recent passport photographs, five passport photographs of a guarantor or surety, the guarantor’s means of identification and the claimant’s bank details.

The government also requested a letter of introduction from the relevant Landlords’ Association and any additional documents considered necessary by the monitoring team.

The verification exercise is expected to establish eligible beneficiaries and provide the necessary documentation ahead of compensation payments for properties affected by the road project.

The development comes amid the state government’s ongoing compensation programme for residents whose properties fall within the Circular Road corridor.

The Ibadan Circular Road is a major infrastructure project intended to improve connectivity around the state capital and support economic development.
