Aliko Dangote, Nigerian billionaire and founder of Dangote Group, has chosen to immortalize the late banking icon, Herbert Wigwe, by naming the road leading to his oil refinery after him. The decision was announced during a tribute to Wigwe by professionals, where Dangote expressed his deep respect and admiration for his late friend, brother, and mentee.
Wigwe, former Group CEO of Access Bank Plc, tragically lost his life in a helicopter crash in the United States alongside his wife, son, and Abimbola Ogunbanjo, former chairman of the Nigerian Exchange Group Plc. This gesture by Dangote reflects the profound impact Wigwe had in the banking sector and beyond.
Prior to his untimely death, Wigwe held various esteemed positions in the financial industry, demonstrating his leadership and dedication. His legacy lives on not only through his contributions to banking but also through the lasting tribute of having a significant refinery road named in his honor.
