Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde, has bowed to pressure following days of protest by residents affected by the Ibadan Circular Road project. The state government has now agreed to reduce land acquisition along the project corridor from 500 metres to 150 metres in already developed areas.
According to WestNG, the decision was announced on Tuesday during a meeting between the National Association of Public Affairs Analysts (NAPAA) and top government officials, including the Executive Adviser to Governor Makinde on New Towns and Cities Development Authority (OYNTCDA), Mrs. Mofoluke Adebiyi, and the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Dr. Sulaimon Olanrewaju.
