Both institutions received a cheque for N500,000 each for the endowment which will run for a period of five years.. While presenting the cheque at the respective offices of the vice chancellors of both institutions, the Birthday Planning Committee chairman, Chief Jude Emecheta, remarked that the groups set out to promote the values of Professor Soludo through the endowment.
