Jennifer observed some empty seats at the occasion and lamented that the reverse would have been the case if Herbert Wigwe, the late Access Bank CEO, had been alive.
She opined that Herbert, the founder of Wigwe University, would have shut down the ceremony. She took a cue from his tragic death to make a prayer. Jennifer wrote:
“It was the Opening ceremony of Wigwe University. But the seats were empty. If Herbert was alive you know this would have been a shutdown in Isiokpo and Rivers state at large.
“When it is time for our names to be written in the book of Gold.. May we not die!”
