Herbert Wigwe’s driver recalls first kindness he received from him
Driver of Herbert Wigwe, the late group chief executive officer of Access Holdings Plc, has recounted the first kindness he received from his boss.
Speaking on Monday at an event held at Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos to celebrate Wigwe’s professional legacy, his driver said that just days after he began working with Wigwe, the banker got him a car after he got into a vehicle operated by robbers known as One Chance.
“Some days after I started working with him, he travelled and was supposed to come back with Virgin Atlantic, an early morning flight,” he said.

“I left my house around 8 o’clock and got into One Chance. I was beaten and badly battered. I managed to get home. Tochi (Wigwe’s son) found out. Immediately his father came in the morning, I’m sure Tochi mentioned to him and while we were going to work that same morning, he spoke to people at Access Holdings ‘Get my driver a car.’”
Tributes from President Bola Tinubu, former President Olusegun Obasanjo, France President Emmanuel Macron, and former US President Bill Clinton were read at the event.
Also present at the event were Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun, minister of finance Wale Edun, CBN governor Olayemi Cardoso, former CBN governor Lamido Sanusi, businessman Femi Otedola among others.
Wigwe, his wife Chizoba; first son Chizi; and a former group chairman of Nigerian Exchange Group, Abimbola Ogunbanjo, died in a helicopter crash that occurred near a border town between California and Nevada in the United States on February 9.
