How Herbert Wigwe prepared for his death

Anticipating his future with an almost prophetic foresight, Dr. Herbert Wigwe had already erected an impressive private mausoleum for his eventual resting place. Situated within the expansive confines of the university environment, the tomb stands as a testament to his towering stature.

A pathway crafted from stamped concrete, bordered by verdant foliage, leads one to the tranquil final resting site of the Wigwe family. As reported by Saturday Vanguard, three tombs have been painstakingly constructed, adorned with cutting-edge Italian Carara marble and finished with imported granite galaxy.

The phrase “Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength” is gracefully embossed in the upper corner of the mausoleum, offering solace to visitors. The transparent design of this private burial ground conveys a profound message—Dr. Herbert Wigwe was not only affluent in life, but his grandeur extends even in death.

With a multitude of international guests expected to bid farewell to this extraordinary individual, attention will inevitably be drawn to the expansive grounds of Wigwe International University. The construction of the university itself showcases an impressive 60% local labor from Rivers State, 20% from Isiokpo, and the remaining 20% from various regions in Nigeria—a testament to the visionary’s inclusive approach.

“He constructed this private cemetery prior to the establishment of the university. His residence here was meticulously planned with a distinct entrance and walls, set apart from the university grounds. He possessed a profound vision and actively worked towards realizing those aspirations. However, the certainty of whether those visions will come to fruition remains unclear,” lamented a credible source.

Speaking with a touch of spirituality, the source added, “Only the visionary himself can fully bring his dreams to life. I cannot predict whether these visions, including the university, will materialize as envisioned by the dream’s owner.”

Every structure within the university premises undergoes a rapid transformation. Each completed building radiates in pristine white tones, complemented by black corrugated roofs. The ongoing construction of internal roads proceeds with remarkable speed, as every staff member plays a crucial role in shaping this evolving legacy.
