He also commended the Esama for establishing Igbinedion University, the first privately owned university in the country, and for his dedication to advancing quality education and academic excellence.

According to a statement issued on Tuesday by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President (Information & Strategy), President Tinubu affirmed that Nigeria is better off due to the sacrifices of patriots like Chief Igbinedion, who have devoted their time and resources to the nation’s progress and development.

Tinubu joined the Oba of Benin, the people of the Bini Kingdom, family, friends, and well-wishers in praying that the Esama’s legacy continues to inspire future generations.
