A year has passed since the tragic loss of Dr. Herbert Wigwe, his beloved wife Chizoba, and their son Chizzi. Though time moves forward, the pain of their absence remains deeply felt. Yet, in the midst of sorrow, their legacy continues to shine—a beacon of inspiration, love, and unwavering dedication to humanity. As we do a one-year memorial of our founder, his wife, and his son, we pray that the love of God guides us through this season.

Dr. Herbert Wigwe was more than a leader; he was a visionary whose passion for education, empowerment, and excellence transformed lives. His relentless pursuit of progress and belief in the power of knowledge laid the foundation for countless dreams to take flight. Wigwe University stands as a testament to his vision, a living embodiment of his dream to shape future generations through education.

Chizoba Wigwe’s warmth and grace touched everyone who knew her. She was a pillar of strength, a source of love and encouragement, and an unwavering advocate for family and community. Chizoba’s kindness and generosity continue to touch the hearts of those she impacted.

Chizzi Wigwe, full of promise and potential, was a bright light—a reflection of the love and values instilled in him by his remarkable parents. His presence left a lasting mark on those who knew him.

As we reflect on this past year, we find solace in the incredible impact they made. Their legacy lives on in the memories they created, the lives they touched, the dreams they nurtured, and the ideals they upheld. While they may no longer walk among us, we certainly know that their spirit lives on in every life enriched by their generosity. The Wigwe University community knows that every student is empowered by their vision, and every heart is inspired by their kindness, love, and fearlessness.

Dr. Herbert, Chizoba, and Chizzi—we deeply feel your absence, yet we continue to honor, cherish, and remember your enduring influence.

Forever in our hearts, with love and remembrance.
