Access Bank pays tribute to Wigwe, wife, son one year after demise

Access Bank has paid one year remembrance tribute to the former CEO of Access Holdings, Herbert Wigwe, his wife, Chizoba, and their son, Chizzy.

The trio died tragically in a helicopter crash in California exactly one year ago, on February 9, 2024.

In a post on X, Access Bank said Wigwe’s legacy lives on in every step the organisation takes.

The post read, “A year ago, we lost a visionary leader whose impact still echoes in our lives. Herbert Wigwe was more than a name—he was a force of excellence, resilience, and transformation.

“His legacy lives on in every bold step we take, every life he touched, and every dream he inspired. We honor him not just in memory, but in action.

“Rest on, Herbert. Your vision endures.”

Meanwhile, a one-year memorial service in honour of the trio was held at the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Lion of Judah Parish, Isiokpo, Ikwerre Local Government Area, Rivers State.

The event was graced by Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State who was represented by his Deputy, Ngozi Nma Odu.

Another remembrance service for the late Herbert, Chizoba, and Chizi Wigwe is also happening at Eko Hotel, Lagos.
