President Bola Tinubu has expressed sadness over the death of the Chief Executive Officer of Access Holdings Plc, Herbert Wigwe.
A statement on Sunday by the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, said Tinubu described it as “an overwhelming tragedy that is shocking beyond comprehension.”
Wigwe died on February 9 in a helicopter crash that also killed the former Group Chairman of the Nigerian Exchange Group Plc., Abimbola Ogunbanjo, along with members of the Wigwe family.

The presidential statement said Tinubu received the news of the death of Nigeria’s exceptional business leaders with shock and deep distress.
Tinubu condoled with the Wigwe and Ogunbanjo families, the business community, and all those impacted by this harrowing incident.
“President Tinubu prays for the peaceful repose of the departed and asks God Almighty to comfort the multitude of Nigerians who are grieving and the families of the deceased at this deeply agonising moment,” said Ngelale.
United States authorities said preliminary reports suggest that a wintry weather condition contributed to the crash.
