1 Mins read

In a somber announcement, Access Holdings Plc is grappling with the untimely passing of its Group Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Herbert Wigwe, CFR, along with his wife and son. The tragic incident occurred in a helicopter crash in the United States of America.

The Nigerian Association of Social and Resourceful Editors (NASRE) expresses profound condolences to the bank.

In a letter addressed to Mr. Amaechi Michael Okobi, the director of corporate communication of Access Holdings Plc, and signed by the president, Femi Oyewale, the resourceful association pledged to maintain a strong connection to all the endeavors of the brand during their challenging period and beyond.

The letter partly reads, “On behalf of the board of patrons led by Lt. General Tukur Buratai (rtd), executives, and members of the Nigerian Association of Social and Resourceful Editors (NASRE), I extend our heartfelt condolences to the board, management, and staff of Access Holdings Plc on the untimely passing of your Group Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Herbert Wigwe, CFR, alongside his wife and son in a helicopter crash in the United States of America.”

Described as a visionary leader and stalwart within the finance community, Dr. Wigwe’s commitment, passion, and leadership at Access Holdings Plc have left an indelible mark on the banking industry. NASRE, in particular, acknowledges his significant managerial skills and contributions to the development of SMEs, the industrial hub of Nigeria, and Africa.

Oyewale affirmed that the sudden loss is not only felt deeply within Access Holdings Plc but also resonates with NASRE, as well as the entire business community.

Mr. Wigwe founded Access Bank in 1989. It became one of the largest banks in Nigeria in 2018 after acquiring its main competitor, Diamond Bank.
