The family of late Herbert Wigwe, the former Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) of Access Holdings Plc, has released his burial arrangements and that of his wife and son.
Recall that Wigwe died in a helicopter crash in the United States alongside his wife and son.
Onboard the ill-fated helicopter was the former group chairman of Nigerian Exchange Group Plc (NGX Group), Abimbola Ogunbanjo which crashed early February.
According to the programme, the burial ceremony of the Wigwes will begin with a celebration of the professional legacy of the former GCEO of Access Holdings at the Eko Hotel in Lagos on March 4.
It will end with an outing service at the Redeemed Christian Church Of God (RCCG), Lion of Judah Parish, Isiokpo, Ikwerre LGA, Rivers, on March 10.
The lives of his son, Chizi and wife, Chizoba will be celebrated in separate ceremonies scheduled for March 5 at the Eko Hotel in Lagos, before a night of tributes a day later at the same venue.
A combined service of songs will be held on March 7 at the RCCG, Resurrection Parish, Lekki, followed by a Christian wake-keep at Wigwe University, Isiokpo, Ikwerre LGA, Rivers.
The combined funeral and private internment service are scheduled for March 9, 2024.
