Chief Rommy Ezeonwuka has made it categorically clear that he will sell Tansian University to recover all the money the university is owing him for using his property Ranet Industries at Oba as take off campus.
Ezeonwuka who told our correspondent that he owns 81% equity shares of the university because of his landed property worth over N2 Billion, revealed that the management of Tansian University has reneged in the payment of honorarium to him as clearly enunciated in a consent judgement from the court.
He said the consent judgement clearly stipulated that Tansian University would pay him honorarium for 25 years and thereafter vacate his property at Oba Idemili-South Local Government Area and relocate to their main campus at Umunya in Oyi Local Government Area of the state.
He therefore recalled that the said consent judgement was reached in 2010 and the university paid him honorarium up to 2015 and stopped thereafter following the advise one Fr. Obiora gave Johnbosco Akam that he could challenge the consent judgement which Ogidi High Court rejected.
Be that as it may, Ogidi High Court ruled that Chief Rommy Ezeonwuka should sell off the university and recover all the unpaid honorarium accruing to him as contained in the consent judgement, since the university has violated the orders of the court by reneging in the payment of the agreed honorarium.
To set the records straight, Chief Rommy Ezeonwuka stated that he established Tansian University alongside late Rev. Prof. Johnbosco Akam and that it is in the records of the National Universities Commission (NUC) that he is the financier of the university and equally brought in other investors to the university.
