Amid land dispute, Iyase lauds the siting of university in Idumuje

By Hugo Odiogor

Chief Chris Ogwu, the Iyase of Idumuje Kingdom in Delta State, has debunked allegations of land grabbing by persons he claimed to be frustrated by the economic progress of the town.

Ogwu, in a press statement, said: “Sons and daughters of Idumuje that require land to cite infrastructures and project are guaranteed of allocation of land for such purpose after fulfilling the requirements.

“The siting of the Star University in Idumuje Kingdom by Hon. Prince Ned Nwoko is a landmark achievement for the people of Idumuje Ugboko and the allocation of the 93 hectares of land had followed the due process before the Certificate of Occupancy and the Customary Rights of Occupancy were issued to Prince Ned Nwoko in 2015.”

Iyase admonished mis-chievious persons using Idumuje Ugboko to issue  dubious communicaque of annual general meeting of Idumuje Ugboko Develop-ment Union (IUDU), and signatures of individuals to desist from such act.

“Some youths want to capitalise on the period of transition accompanying the demise of  the  former monarch of Idumuje Kingdom to create havoc and disrupt the peace and development of the town. A memorandum of under-standing signed for the purposes of citing the Star University in Idumuje Ugboko state that the land constitute 40% equity contribution of the town to the Star University project and that town will be favoured to that extent in consideration for skills and personnel required to develop the University.

It was also a condition that the said land would revert to Idumuje-Ugboko if after five years of the land had not been put to use in the manner for which it was allocated.”
