GTI mourns passing of Iwuanyanwu

By DailySports Nigeria on July 29, 2024

Strategic Partners of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL), GTI Asset Management and Trust Limited, has expressed great shock and grief over the demise of the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu after a brief illness. The sad event occurred on Thursday, 25th July 2024. He was aged 82.

 

GTI Head of Media and Publicity, Andrew Ekejiuba, in a press statement made available to journalists in Lagos, eulogized him for his great contributions to football development in the country and other human endeavours.

 

“Iwuanyanwu in 1984 acquired state-owned Spartans FC Owerri and renamed it Iwuanyanwu Nationale that brought honour to Imo State and country in general. However, the club has since 2006 reverted to the Imo State Government and renamed Heartland FC.

 

“As a businessman Iwuanyanwu was a colossus as he made his mark in entrepreneurship which includes manufacturing, construction, and publishing. He was the publisher of Champion Newspapers and National Post Newspapers.

 

“Chief Iwuanyanwu was a strong cultural enthusiast, politician, philanthropist par excellence and a firm believer of equity and national unity. He would be missed by many across the country,” Ekejiuba said.

The deceased’s family, associates and loved ones should be comforted by the knowledge that his legacies and impact would continue to endure on the sands of time.
