Idumuje-Ugboko, an agrarian community in Aniocha North Local Government Council of Delta State has been in the news since 2017. The town came to the news radar when in March 2015, LINAS INTERNATIONAL LTD, a company owned by Prince Ned Nwoko requested 90 hectares of land for the establishment of a University and International golf course.
The then Obi, HRM Albert Nwoko III after due consultation with his Chiefs and Land Allocation Committee gave approval with an MOU signed between the beneficiary and the community in which Idumuje-Ugboko was to retain 40% equity shares in the two-star projects while the beneficiary via his company retains 60% shares. The parcel of land in question which was part of an earlier secured land after a protracted land case with the neighbouring Onicha-Ugbo community (1956 – 1969) had a substantial part of it reserved for developmental purposes.
