England Championship Club Side, Sheffield United is on the verge to be bought over by Nigerian Born Billionaire, Dozy Mmobuosi.
The Club is presently in distress following a transfer embargo last month amid financial difficulties. It was to put up for sale in the region of 90 million Pounds.
Mmobuosi has shown interest in buying the Club from its present owners.
The Tech Entrepreneur who owns a Tech Firm called Tingo valued around seven Billion Pounds is a graduate of Ambrose Alli University, Edo State, Nigeria where he bagged a Bachelor of Science degree in Political Science and a Master of Science degree in Economics.
He founded Tingo Mobile PLC in 2001 and went ahead to designed and launched Nigeria’s first SMS Banking Solution called ‘Flashmecash’, which was later sold to the First City Monument Bank, according to Examinerlive.
He has been an adviser to some large corporate organisations and also holds a doctorate in Rural Advancement from University of Putra Malaysia.
It was gathered he also completed the Advanced Management and Leadership Programme at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford in March 2022.
In December 2021, the African billionaire launched the Dozy Mmobuosi Foundation, aiming to support Africans across multiple sectors including education, healthcare, and technology.
Mmobuosi was said to have also set up two mobile phone assembly facilities in Nigeria to help the local population gain access to the Internet and smartphones, and advocates technological advancement and social uplift in Africa and beyond.
The Times reports that Mmobuosi is the subject of the EFL’s owners’ and directors’ test at present but no problems have been flagged so far.
