The late billionaire business mogul, Dr. Herbert Wigwe, who had a premonition, built a private tomb within the university grounds, constructed with Italian Carara marble.
As the preparations for the final burial of Wigwe are underway in Isiokpo, Nigeria.
The distance from Port Harcourt International Airport to Wigwe International University is ten kilometers, and the town is gearing up for the event.
Roads are cleared, potholes fixed, and the university project is receiving attention.
The Redeemed Christian Church of God in Isiokpo is also prepared. The Wigwe International University, a detribalized project, showcases 60% local content in labor.
However, despite uncertainties about realizing Wigwe’s visions, the funeral is expected to draw foreign guests to witness the expansive university project.
The university, marked by white buildings and black corrugated roofs, is undergoing rapid development in anticipation of the burial.
