Landlords and property owners in the Odeyale area of Ona Ara Local Council whose houses were affected by the construction of the Circular Road have appealed to the state governor, Seyi Makinde, to fulfil his promise to compensate them.
They also urged the governor to extend the gesture given to the people of Ajia and other places to them.
He lamented that several persons died as a result of the development while some who remain are nursing high blood pressure. He added that several families have been separated, while some members have become bedridden. “There are also cases of people who have died, such as the case of Aishat Waheed, a female resident of No. 5, Aba Otun, Idi Ose Axis, Ona Ara LGA. She passed away last week due to complications arising from overexposure to cold temperatures in her temporary, unfinished accommodation, all because her house was bulldozed.”
Reacting, the state’s Commissioner for Lands, Housing, Survey, and Urban Development, Akin-Funmilayo Williams, said the government was doing the compensation in phases and that it would soon reach them.Before flagging, please keep in mind that Disqus does not moderate communities.
