There\u2019s no family land here in Ashanti. No Abusuapanyin (head of the family) can claim the land belongs to him and therefore he has the right to alienate a portion of the university land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou can go to any court. Take it there. I am also sure there will be a judge there who will know that the constitution of Ashanti says that there is no family land in the Ashanti Region&#8230;get the lawyers to take you to court but I\u2019ll get the court to overturn their decisions to affirm my authority on the lands here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Otumfuo issued the caution during the launch of the 70th anniversary celebration of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology on October 28, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Otumfuo who is the chancellor of the University warned sub-chiefs against encroaching on lands of the university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Otumfuo said that any chief who is found to have engaged in such activities will face his wrath and will not be left off the hook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLet me use this platform to highlight a very disturbing development which has come to my attention in recent times. That is the encroachment of university (KNUST) lands. I condemn it in no uncertain terms and strongly send a note of caution to all those involved to desist from it or face my wrath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf not for nothing at all, let\u2019s appreciate the foresight of our forepersons in seeing the vision through the lens of science and technology. When our fathers gave these vast lands, the university had only 200 students. Seventy years on, the university boasts of over 80,000 students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI dare say that 100 years on, the number of students will double or even triple, and every piece of land on this campus will be needed. Let no one perceive any unused land of the university today as waste,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Send your news stories to\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:dannyboy744@gmail.com\">dannyboy744@gmail.com<\/a>\u00a0and via WhatsApp on +233 266777777<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has moved to assert his authority as the custodian of all lands in the Ashanti Region.
