 JAMES IBORI DONATES N100M TO IGBINEDION UNIVERSITY

Ibori made the donation during the launch of the official biography of Gabriel Igbinedion, the Esama of Benin in Abuja on Thursday. The memoir is titled "Chronicles of a Legend".


Ibori gave out N50 million to endow a chair in the economics department and another N50 million for the university’s development.


“For the chair in the economics department, I want to put a very meagre sum,” he said. “If it were not for the economic situation, I would do everything I can to promote this university.”
