The Director of the African Centre of Excellence for Genomics of Infectious Diseases (ACEGID), Prof. Christian Happi, at the weekend, described the late Group Managing Director of Access Bank Plc, Dr. Herbert Wigwe, as a great philanthropist who believed in using his privilege and resources to improve humanity and Nigeria.
Happi spoke while unveiling the Herbert Wigwe Memorial Fountain and Garden in celebration of the centre’s 10th anniversary at Redeemer’s University Ede, Osun State.
He stressed that the garden was dedicated to honouring the life and legacies of Wigwe, who was a strong advocate and supporter of ACEGID.
Happi said: “It is both an honour and a privilege to stand before you today in celebration of a remarkable individual who made an indelible mark on our organisation, ACEGID, and the lives of so many around him through his charitable works throughout his life.
“We are all delighted to be here today for this meaningful ceremony as we gather to unveil the memorial fountain and garden in honour of our friend, brother, and colleague, Herbert Wigwe.”
