The Ondo State Government has debunked reports alleging structural failure at the ongoing construction site of the state’s new Judiciary Complex.
Speaking during an inspection of the project on Tuesday, the Commissioner for Infrastructure, Lands and Housing, Engr. Abiola Olawoye noted there was no truth to claims circulating since Monday that parts of the complex had collapsed.
“We have moved around all 10 buildings in this project, including the ceremonial court, modular courts A to G, the utility building, and the registry building. There is no structural failure. The workers are doing perfect work,” the official said.
He explained that before construction began, thorough soil investigations and reinforcement checks were carried out, with proper formwork in place.
He noted that work on the complex was already between 45 and 50 percent complete, and tests such as cube, integrity, and balsamatic strength assessments had been consistently conducted without any sign of defects.
“By God’s grace, very soon this project will come to an end. The contractor, in collaboration with consultants and the ministry, is ensuring that every stage meets quality standards,” he added.
The Judiciary Complex comprises 10 major structures and is expected to significantly improve judicial operations in the state once completed.
