According to reports, construction workers are on site and they have a deadline to ensure that the renovation is completed by December 2018.
“A lot has happened since the demolition in August. We’ve had a lull in the activities going on here”, said Samson Akindele, head of news at Fresh FM.
“Just about two weeks ago, after all the meetings and agreements, the ministry of works in Oyo state through the office of the permanent secretary and the commissioner came in to start fulfilling the promise the governor made that indeed the partial demolition was an activity done in error.”
