GOVERNOR Siminalayi Fubara has promised that the state government will support Wigwe University in immortalising the late Herbert Wigwe.
The late Chief Executive Officer of Access Holdings established Wigwe University in his hometown of Isiokpo in Rivers State before his unfortunate death in a helicopter crash in California in February.
After Wigwe’s funeral church service in Isiokpo on Saturday, Governor Fubara said the state government would support the university to keep Wigwe’s dreams alive.
“I want to say our brother has finished his work, though shortly. We, as a government, will do everything with the Wigwe Foundation to immortalise one thing.
“It is not the bank, the bank might have a new identity, a new boss to run it, other ventures will also have their names; but one thing that has his name is Wigwe University.
“We will do everything within our power to make sure the dream will continue to live just as he has planned it,” Fubara said.
