In a bid to give back to the society and support for his alma mater, Engr. Osaro John Igiede, who is a graduate of the prestigious University of Benin (UNIBEN), has shown a philanthropic act by donating a busload of academic books to the institution.
These books cut across several fields of study, which include Engineering, Law, Accounting, Philosophy, Sociology, Pharmacy, Medicine, and many more, just to mention a few.
