Oyo fire victims seek rebuilding approval from Makinde

Some victims of a fire incident in Dugbe, Oyo State have called on Governor Seyi Makinde to grant them renovation approval.

They appealed to the governor to prevail on the relevant agencies to approve the renovation permit, to allow them to repair the building and save it from collapse.

According to them, no court granted an injunction to stop the renovation of the broken-down building.

Their appeal was made by S.O. Sanni & CO in a letter dated April 8, 2021.

They include the owner of Pelly Foam Industries Ltd, Dapo Davies and the traders within the property on 1, Lebanon Street, Dugbe, Ibadan, which was gutted by fire in April last year, The Nations reports.

The letter was received on April 16 by the Governor’s Office and made available to reporters yesterday in Ibadan.

The traders said despite that the documents requested by relevant agencies for the renovation permit have been submitted, to their surprise, a year after, the approval is yet to be granted.

They said they learned that Governor Makinde was misinformed that there were pending cases in court, which is farther from the truth.
