November 12, (THEWILL) – Banking magnate Herbert Onyewunbu Wigwe ise one wealthy banker who despite having a thing for luxury, isn’t too keen about flaunting it. As much as he loves the good life, Wigwe gives much attention to social interventions. Education and healthcare are two areas that he believes would make the greatest impact on the people. He has wasted no time taking care of education by recently laying the foundation of his private university, Wigwe University, in Rivers, his home state. In fact the institution is poised to receive its first set of students by September 2024 when lectures are expected to commence.
With the health sector, he has begun to make commendable strides through his HOW Foundation. He recently adopted 25 primary healthcare centres in Rivers State, at least one in each local government area, for the purpose of refurbishing and rejiging them with quality equipment and manpower and to also run them for five years before handing them over to the state. However, his heart belongs to education.
