I wasn't impressed by any soil science tribute, seems most speeches looked more at his leadership, not his research.

His tenure is painted as flawless, though I recall occasional debates over funding priorities that cast some doubt on the narrative.

Perhaps the university can honor his legacy by establishing a student research grant in soil science named after Prof Igwe.
