The governor assured that the state government would immortalize Wigwe’s vision by ensuring the completion of the self-named university he had planned.
However, the President of the Senate, Akpabio, offered a different perspective on the essence of life’s challenges, urging Fubara to ‘resign’ if there’s no essence for struggling in life.
