As part of efforts to immortalise her late husband, the Archbishop, Church of God Mission International, Margaret Benson Idahosa, has donated a block of six classrooms to Olinlin Primary School, Uzea, in Esan North-east local government area of Edo state.
Margaret said her husband began his early education in the school; hence “the church thought it wise to erect a block of six classrooms in his (Benson Idahosa) name in the same premises.”
Benson Idahosa was the founder of the church and passed on in 1998.
Represented by Bishop Matthew Okpebholo, Margaret said Benson Idahosa was a blessing to his generation and beyond having taken the gospel of Christ around the globe.
“The children who are going to make use of the facility would be proud to say in the nearest future that they attended the same primary school with the late Bishop Benson Idahosa,” he said.
The secretary to the palace of the Uzea Kingdom, Chief Iseghohi Francis, described the initiative as a welcome development.
He advised other well-meaning Nigerians to emulate the wife of the late bishop who, according to him, remembered where her late husband began his early education.
