The Ogun State Government has dismissed claims that it arbitrarily revoked the allocation of a parcel of land in Obafemi/Owode Local Government Area, saying the provisional offer was cancelled because the applicant failed to pay the assessed cost of the land within the stipulated 60-day period.
The Special Adviser to the Governor on Information and Strategy, Kayode Akinmade, said the 4.646-hectare parcel at Fere Village, Jibowu, along the Abeokuta-Sagamu Expressway, was assessed at N334,493,200, but the original applicant, Adijat Jumoke Busari, did not pay the land cost within the required period.
Akinmade, in a statement on the matter, said official records showed that Busari applied for the allocation on January 7, 2025, under reference number OW/SL/C.1302.
He explained that following the required site inspection and investigation, the Bureau responsible for land allocation issued her a Provisional Letter of Offer on March 25, 2025.
According to him, the applicant received the assessment letter on April 2, 2025, with a clear condition that the required payment for the land be made within 60 days.
