Oyo State Government has reduced the structures earmarked for demolition from 2,105 to 56, over the recent flood disaster in the state, even as it ruled out the possibility of paying any compensation to owners of the affected structures.

The state Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Mr. Bosun Oladele, who briefed newsmen at the end of the state executive council meeting, yesterday,  in Ibadan, said that other makeshift structures like shops, porta cabins and containers would also be pulled down.

It will be recalled that the committee set up by the state government shortly after the August 26, 2011 flood disasters which claimed many lives and property, had recommended that 2,105 structures be demolished.
