On behalf of the Government and the good people of Edo State, I extend my heartfelt felicitations to our revered elder statesman, Chief (Dr.) Gabriel Osawaru Igbinedion, the Esama of the Benin Kingdom, on the occasion of his birthday.
Chief, you are a true beacon of enterprise and philanthropy whose legacy has been indelibly etched into the history of our great state. Your pioneering spirit, particularly in establishing Nigeria’s first private University, Igbinedion University, as well as other groundbreaking ventures like Okada Air and Independent Television and Radio (ITV), has not only created opportunities but has also inspired generations.
Happy Birthday Chief (Dr.) Gabriel Osawaru Igbinedion, the Esama of the Benin Kingdom.
