According to Charles Granville, actor, producer, businessman and IPGC special envoy to ECOWAS, Igweka’s life is a mirror to what a life of service entails. “I have known Gilbert Igweka for a while now, and I have learnt a lot from him about service, humility and most of all integrity. He is a great man, which is the reason so many people turned out here today to honour him.”
