The Osun State government has paid N67m as compensation to landowners, whose properties were affected by the ongoing construction of an Air Force base in Ipetu-Ijesa community in Oriade Local Government Council.

The Commissioner for Lands and Physical Planning, Mr. Muyiwa Ige, said this in Osogbo on Monday, while presenting cheques to 247 landowners affected by the construction.

The gesture came on the heels of the payment of N65m to 395 traders displaced by the ongoing reconstruction of the Old Garage area in Osogbo, the state capital.

Ige said although the Ipetu-Ijesa land was acquired by the Federal Government, it became imperative for the state government to ameliorate the plight of the affected people, following the suffering they had faced as a result of the acquisition.

The commissioner, who said the Ipetu-Ijesa land was acquired through the Ministry of Defence, maintained that the Federal Government had refused to pay monetary compensations to the landowners.

I say Happy new year to the great people of Osun.
Wish you all a fruitful and wondrous year.
The progress Osun has been witnessing won't stop but be multiplied in a dynamic way.

Forward ever to Osun state(State of Osun) the home state of the Yorubas

The state of the Living Spring.
