Earlier this year, we bid farewell to our visionary Founder, Dr. Herbert Wigwe. His commitment to Africa's advancement and dedication to elevating the continent's global standing continues to resonate deeply, not only locally but also on the international stage. On the 4th of October, 2024, we were honoured to witness the creation of the Herbert Wigwe Memorial Garden by the African Centre of Excellence for Genomics of Infectious Diseases (ACEGID). This living tribute stands as a powerful reminder of his relentless drive for progress, particularly within the health sector, and his unwavering commitment to innovation. Herbert Wigwe’s legacy continues to inspire and shape a brighter future for generations, fueling the progress of Africa and its place in the world. #HerbertWigwe #HOWLegacy #Healthcare #MemorialGarden #ACEGID #RememberingHerbert

As we celebrate 64 years of our nation’s journey, let us reflect on the strength and resilience that have shaped our nation. While we may not yet be where we aspire to be, we are writing our own stories and shaping our future with boldness and vision. We remain committed to growing stronger and brighter, weaving our unique narratives into the rich fabric of our heritage. Here’s to many more years of unity, progress, and a shared vision for a thriving Nigeria! #HOWFoundation #NigeriaIndependenceDay #WritingOurStories #ShapingOurFuture #YearsOfUnity #ProudlyNigerian

Can you imagine a world without the richness of diverse languages? Neither can we. This year’s World Literacy Day theme, “Promoting Multilingual Education for Peace”, truly resonates with us. It reminds us that, despite our linguistic and cultural differences, we are all interconnected in our shared journey of learning and growth. Let’s celebrate literacy—a powerful force that not only broadens our knowledge but also unites us. Happy World Literacy Day! #WorldLiteracyDay2024 #MultilingualEducation #HOWFoundation #PeaceThroughLearning #GlobalKnowledge

As summer draws to a close, many parents may feel concerned about not fully maximizing the long holiday for their children. However, there’s still time to engage your children in a variety of fun and educational activities before they return to school. From interactive learning games to creative projects, these activities are designed to enhance knowledge, stimulate creativity, and keep young minds actively engaged. By blending educational content with enjoyable experiences, we can ensure that the summer break remains a time of both relaxation and intellectual growth. #HOW #HOWEducation #Parenting #Summer #Holidays #Activities

While this statistic is disheartening, accepting it as a challenge to be addressed is the first step towards change. We must face the facts and take action to ensure every child has access to quality education. By increasing funding for education infrastructure and resources, implementing policies promoting gender equality, supporting community-led initiatives, addressing poverty and economic barriers, and developing alternative education programs for marginalized groups, we can work towards a future where every Nigerian child has the opportunity to learn and thrive. #HOW #HOWEducation #NGO #GirlChild

The HOW Foundation and Wigwe University were privileged to sponsor the captivating historical stage play, "GOWON: The Man, His Queen, His Nation," which chronicles the life of Nigeria’s former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, GCFR. Produced by the Duke of Shomolu Foundation, this play not only highlighted the crucial role of history in shaping the creative industry but also offered profound insights into our nation's past. The strong presence of young people in the cast underscored the importance of empowering the next generation. This aligns closely with the mission of the HOW Foundation and Wigwe University, as envisioned by Dr. Herbert Wigwe, to unlock the potential of young minds and equip them with the skills necessary to drive positive change. By supporting such initiatives, we aim to cultivate a culture of creativity, innovation, and leadership among the youth, paving the way for a brighter future for our nation. #HOW #HOWFoundation #WigweUniversity #YouthEmpowerment #Creativity
