The Oyo State Government has commenced a reverification exercise for property owners affected by the first phase of the Senator Rashidi Ladoja Circular Road in Ibadan who were previously excluded from compensation.
Chairman of the monitoring committee, Sunday Odukoya (rtd), disclosed that the exercise will capture over 900 individuals omitted during the initial compensation process.
N5.8bn Approved for Additional Compensation
The government had earlier approved ₦5.8 billion on April 22, 2026, as compensation for another batch of affected property owners, adding to payments already made to hundreds impacted by the major road project.
The circular road, spanning about 110 kilometres, is a key infrastructure initiative designed to ease traffic congestion and support urban expansion in Ibadan.

Odukoya said the reverification exercise officially commenced on April 27, 2026.
He directed affected individuals to visit the Ministry of Lands or the Office of the Executive Assistant on Security to the governor to confirm their names and begin the process.
