the land previously allocated to the University. This cheering news was
conveyed to the University via letter ref: MLSUP/LOW/5059/IV/303 dated

Revocation of Rights of Occupancy Order 2012 of 4th July, 2012 in
respect of about 75% of the FUTO land.
In his remarks at the development, the Vice-Chancellor noted that with
the corrigendum notice in respect of the Revocation Order 2012 of July,
2012 over the Land for the establishment of Federal University of
Technology, Owerri, all those portions of land described in the
schedules A, B and C of the Land Excision and Revocation of Certificate
of Occupancy Order 2012 are not excised and affected by the Land

commended the Governor for showing wisdom and understanding in the
resolution of the matter. He also expressed gratitude to the Executive
