From Ifeoma Ejiofor Nnewi
Renowned businessman Chief Rommy Ezeonwuka (Ogilisi Igbo) who is the CEO of Rojenny Games Village has sacked Tansian University from her Oba campus in Idemili South LGA of Anambra State.
Ezeonwuka however insisted that he is after recovery of his multi million Naira property and not in any way laying claim to the ownership of the University.
Recall that Chief Ezeonwuka and Monsignor Akam have been on the neck of each other with a prolonged litigation in court over some circumstances surrounding the establishment of the University.
Chief Ezeonwuka actually lead security agents to execute a court judgement mandating him to take over the property harboring the University at Oba.
Ogilisi Igbo said that trouble started when the late Pro Chancellor of the University Monsignor Akam claimed that he singlehandedly established the University and consequently claiming the full ownership of the building property where the University campus is located at Oba.
The Rojenny boss explained that he gave out part of the building property he used to run an industry known as Ranent Industry located at Oba to form a co owner of Tansian University along with late Monsignor Akam but after the establishment of the University Professor Akam started to claim the sole owner of the University.
He narrated, “What happened is that Monsignor Akam came to me with an idea to establish a University to be named after an iconic Catholic Priest Rev Fr Cyprain Iwene Tansi, I bought the idea and went into the deal. I then brought part of my building property where I use to run Ranent Industry which is worth over N2biillion at that point to serve as the take off Campus.
“I also brought Rojenny Games Village to form part of the take off campus but the Chairman of the National University Commission (NUC) Professor Julius Okogie said that I should drop Rojenny because according to him, Rojenny cannot be used to host international football matches anymore if it is used as University Campus so I withdraw Rojenny from the University deal.
“I also brought in Late Nze Ralph Obiora who invested money to be part of the ownership. And we all agree to work together and own the University together. In the process Monsignor Akam was appointed to serve as Director of Academic, I was appointed as Director of Finance while Nze Obiora was appointed as Director of Labour. So these names were forwarded to NUC as co-owners of the University from onset.
