On 26th August 2011, a rainfall downpour of 187.5 mm occurred in about 5 hours, resulting in the overflow of the Eleyele reservoir, causing the death of more than 120 people and inflicting serious damage to infrastructure.

Following the floods, the Executive Governor of Oyo State, set up a task force on flood prevention and management which was named the Ibadan Urban Flood Management Project (IUFMP). The outcome was a report containing short, medium and long term recommendations to the state government, which included the proposal to prepare three masterplans for the city:

• Ibadan City Masterplan
• Solid Waste Masterplan
• Drainage Masterplan

As such, the Oyo State Government, represented by the Project Implementation Unit (PIU) (the Client), commissioned Dar (the Consultant) to prepare the masterplan for the city of Ibadan, comprising its 11 Local Government Areas (LGAs) In order for the masterplan (MP) to meet the needs of Ibadan, it must be supported by those it affects and it must embody and reflect their aspirations, aims and objectives. This support is achieved through the implementation of a detailed Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP) which aims to capture the views of relevant stakeholders. The detailed SEP will be submitted with the Final Masterplan in May 2017.

Prior to the detailed SEP however, this Stakeholder Engagement Activity Report is being submitted as an addendum to both the SEP and Final Masterplan. The purpose of which is to present all stakeholder engagement (SE) activities which have been undertaken at each phase of the Ibadan City Masterplan project to date.
