Tansian University crisis deepens as rival bodies claim ownership

The ownership and governance crisis at Tansian University in Anambra State has intensified after the National Universities Commission (NUC) recognised the Missionary Sons of the Blessed Tansi (MST) as proprietor in an August 18, 2026 letter.

Edwin Obiorah’s legal representation and ordered him to hand over his files, accusing him of misleading legal representations and unauthorised exercise of authority; these remain the group’s allegations. The rival sides also disagree over the vice-chancellor appointment, while MST has pledged to pay the ₦10 million annual honorarium arrears owed to Chief Rommy Ezeonwuka, who donated the university’s take-off campus. Parents are reportedly concerned for students’ safety as police barricade the campuses.
