DANGOTE IN TEARS AS HE NAME REFINERY ROAD AFTER WIGWE
In an emotion-laden voice, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest man, fought hard to hold back tears but couldn’t as he led a horde of private sector professionals to pay tributes to the late Access Holdings Group CEO, Dr Herbert Wigwe. He described Wigwe as a visionary, a perfectionist who gave so much of himself for others. But said he was partly consoled because Wigwe’s transformative strides were all over the landscape
Dangote stated that Wigwe broke all records and pushed boundaries in banking, reshaped the sector, emphasising that his philanthropy will never be forgotten.
Africa’s richest man said Wigwe was a pillar of strength for him and his businesses, and went out of his way to “untie all the several nuts” that emerged as his organisation grew and flourished.
According to him, his family will continue to cherish the memory of the late Wigwe, stressing that he owed him a debt of gratitude. He added that both of them shared the character of “perseverance” in the face of discouragement.
