Access Bank has paid tribute to the former chief executive officer of Access Holdings, Herbert Wigwe, his wife Chizoba, and their son Chizi on the first anniversary of their deaths.
The Wigwes were among six victims who died when their helicopter crashed near the Mojave Desert in California, United States on February 9, 2024.
The tragic accident sent shockwaves across Nigeria’s business and financial sectors, as Wigwe was widely regarded as one of the country’s most influential banking leaders.
In a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, Access Bank honoured their memory, reflecting on the profound impact they had on the institution and the wider community.
