Mr Eze recalled how he enjoyed good relationships in the North, especially in Kano, during the tenure of late former Kano governor Abubakar Rimi, when he was accorded free airtime at the only state-owned Television station, CTV Kano.

 

 

 

“Since then, I developed a sound relationship with the North on a quality background with me supporting the region in one way or the other as I recently supported Boko Haram victims with N800 million,” he said.

 

 

 

The chairman of the university governing board, AbdulManaf Sarina, said the appointment of Mr Eze as the Chancellor of the institution was in recognition of his remarkable development towards educational development across Nigeria.

Mr Sarina said: “The journey of the establishment of the university started five years ago when I mulled the ambition of contributing my quota to education and the development of the teeming university education-seeking youths by establishing a private varsity.”

 

 

 

He said the National Universities Commission, NUC, had accorded him all the support and encouragement in the establishment of the institution.

 

Mr Sarina also said that the institution would offer free education to some vulnerable youths who may not have enough but have an interest to study.

 

 

“Quality is our watchword at Azman University, we shall ensure that we get quality staff and academicians to breed equally quality students.

 

 

 

“All conditions and requirements set by NUC have been met and therefore we are fully ready to kick off,” he assured.

 

 

 

On his part, the chairman of the occasion, Prof. Muhammad Yahuza, said the inauguration of the board marked a critical milestone for the university which obtained its licence five years ago.

A Life of Purpose: My 50-year Journey of Impact, Gratitude and Philanthropy – By Aare Adetola Olaniyi Emmanuelking

A Life of Purpose: My 50-year Journey of Impact, Gratitude and Philanthropy – By Aare Adetola Olaniyi Emmanuelking

 

The 2nd of April holds a profound significance for me. This year marks a momentous milestone – my 50th birthday—a celebration of half a century filled with rich experiences and impactful contributions. In stark contrast to the jubilant celebrations of my 40th birthday, which saw the streets of Lagos alive with revelry, I have chosen a path of humility and gratitude to observe this occasion. I plan to reflect quietly on my journey and offer heartfelt thanks to my creator for the many blessings I have received.

My life story is truly remarkable. The inspiration for my thriving real estate business was born during a particularly challenging period—while I was recuperating in a hospital. It was then that I envisioned a venture that would transform the housing landscape in Nigeria and beyond. Today, that vision has flourished into a multi-billion-dollar conglomerate, and I have dedicated myself to providing affordable housing solutions. My work has significantly impacted the lives of countless individuals, turning the once homeless into proud homeowners. My innovative approaches have not only disrupted traditional real estate practices but have also inspired many others in the industry to explore similar pathways.

I remain profoundly grateful to my creator for enabling me to turn my lofty dreams into reality. I have focused my efforts on addressing the pressing issue of housing in Nigeria, crafting affordable home plans that have set a standard many in the industry have sought to emulate. As a trailblazer in the real estate sector, I have become known as the benchmark for real estate business success in Nigeria. Yet, I eschew lavish displays of wealth and grandeur. Rather than inviting praise from my admirers through elaborate festivities, I am instructing friends and associates to express gratitude on my behalf and to redirect their gifts toward charitable endeavors. This philosophy represents what I view as one of the greatest gifts I could receive for my birthday—bringing joy to those in need.

An embodiment of generosity and selflessness, I have intentionally opted against the extravagant celebrations common among billionaires. Instead, I encourage my community to focus their resources on philanthropy during this special time. For me, the opportunity to support and uplift the less fortunate embodies the true spirit of celebration.

In honour of my 50th birthday, I have planned a personal prayer service dedicated to me and my family, which will serve as a moment for reaffirming my commitment to a life devoted to serving God. My gratitude is especially poignant, given the challenges I have overcome. Adversity has met resilience on my journey, and I continuously witness the favour and protection of my creator, which empowers me to thrive despite life’s many obstacles.

Moving beyond personal reflection, I am also initiating plans for widespread communal betterment across Nigeria. I aim to donate substantial infrastructure improvements to underserved communities, making tangible contributions to enhance residents’ lives in significant ways. My commitment is symbolized by my pledge to commission 50 impactful projects nationwide, each representing a part of my dedication to fostering positive change and supporting community development.

While I have plans for a well-deserved retreat with my family beyond Nigeria’s borders, I remain grounded in my values and commitment to my community. As my 50th birthday unfolds, many are gathering to honour me in various ways, a testament to the profound influence I have had on their lives and the societal landscape.

In line with the wisdom of renowned playwright Professor Femi Osofisan, who insightfully noted that birthdays are not merely for the deceased, I truly appreciate the significance of this milestone, especially within a society where the average life expectancy is less than 50 years. I stand as a beacon of humility, gratitude, and an unwavering commitment to improving the lives of others.

Ultimately, as part of my ongoing legacy, I have made it clear that my 50th birthday celebration will revolve around positive societal contributions. Instead of indulging in extravagant expenditures for personal enjoyment, I prioritize investments that will uplift communities across Nigeria. I am determined to ensure that my milestone is marked by meaningful contributions rather than mere indulgence, reaffirming my role as both a property magnate and a dedicated servant to my country and its people.

In conclusion, I want to thank you all for your love, wishes, and prayers. May heaven celebrate you all, too. Amen. Happy 50th birthday 🎂 to me.
