The son of late Bishop Benson Idahosa and the present Chancellor of Benson Idahosa University. Also a Pastor and a father of three handsome boys is a year older today. And his beautiful wife took to social media to pen kind words about him. Happy Birthday pastor Feb.
"In addition to being my husband, @febidahosa has been my boss for the last 14 years. I must sincerely say, he is the best boss ever!
Feb Idahosa is the world's best example of leadership. He provides employment for over 2,000 people (at last count) in Edo State alone. His businesses and ministry spans the globe and has provided employment for tens of thousands since he moved back home to Nigeria in 1998. He is never late when it comes to paying salaries and makes personal sacrifices on a regular basis, just to ensure the comfort and satisfaction of those working with him. Feb is always honest in his dealings and refuses to take bribes or kickbacks... no matter how big or small.
He is surrounded by some very loyal people who work tirelessly to see his visions come to pass .
I probably shouldn't mention this, but, often times, people have asked him why a few of his employees have bigger homes than him or drive nicer cars. It isn't uncommon for him to be on a flight, sitting in the economy section, while someone he employs is seated comfortably in business class. I've never once heard him give an answer to someone who asks those questions. When I question the behavior of some of the people who work with him, he finds a way to treat them with grace and chooses to always believe the best in them. He typifies servant leadership.
Feb finds a way to make each person feel special and important. He communicates openly and freely with his staff at all levels. His communication is always laced with humility and genuine care. As much as possible, he takes time with each person and is excellent with names and remembering details about their personal lives.
This is a picture of a gathering of just 75 of our close staff who serve in our immediate departments, personal businesses or home. We hosted them for a morning devotion, breakfast and Christmas Party this week in our home.
Thank you honey for being an exemplary boss. I learn from you every day.
Happy Birthday, Boss!!!! #December22Birthday"
