After 14 years, it was ruled that Shrewsbury College of Arts and Technology had acted unfairly to Dr Aham Abegeze when he was turned down for a college lectureship.

But despite being awarded £25,787, Dr Abegeze says he will not give up his quest for more than £1 million.

Space engineering expert, Dr Abegeze, 56, was refused the lectureship after being interviewed by the college in September 1999.
