Elumelu Tells Why Wigwe & Abimbola Ogunbanjo’s Passing Is Terribly Sad And Distressing
Top banker and respected entrepreneur, Tony Elumelu has revealed passing of the Chief Executive Officer of Access Holdings, Herbert Wigwe and former Group Chairman of Nigerian Exchange Group plc, Abimbola Ogunbanjo to be terribly sad and distressing.
Messrs Wigwe and Ogunbanjo along with Mrs Chizoba Wigwe and Chizi (Herbert Wigwe son) died in a helicopter crash in the United State on Friday, February 9, 2024.
Titled “Tribute to Great Lights- True Patriots” the chairman of United Bank of Africa’s reaction to the sad development reads…
The news of Herbert Wigwe’s and Bimbo Ogunbanjo’s untimely passing is terribly sad and distressing.
Nigeria, indeed Africa, has lost two of our brightest minds. I admired them both and we all shared the desire to drive Nigeria’s transformation.
Herbert was an exceptional talent, committed to advancing the banking and financial sector in Nigeria, with Access Holdings. Likewise, Bimbo’s tenure as Group chairman of the NGX group was distinguished by excellence.
Both will be sorely missed by all. Their leadership and entrepreneurial drive will continue to serve as shining examples to millions of our young people.
May Bimbo, Herbert, his dear wife, Chizoba, and his son, Chizi, rest in perfect peace. May God give their immediate families strength and grace in this difficult time.
