In a solemn procession marked by the presence of high-profile dignitaries, the communities of Bayelsa and Rivers State gathered to bid farewell to a visionary leader, Dr. Herbert Wigwe, and his beloved family.
The serene town of Isiokpo became the confluence of grief and reverence as the governors of both states, Senator Douye Diri and Siminalayi Fubara, arrived under the watchful eyes of stringent security, signifying the profound impact of the Wigwe family.
The air was heavy with the collective sorrow of the hundreds who congregated at the Redeemed Christian Church of God, their silence speaking volumes of the legacy left behind. Dr. Godknows Igali, a figure of international repute, joined the mourning, a testament to the far-reaching influence of Dr. Wigwe.
As the community’s leaders and the clergy took their places, the echoes of Dr. Wigwe’s contributions to the financial sector resonated amidst the hushed tones of the gathering. His untimely departure, alongside his wife and son, in a tragic accident, has left a void not only in the hearts of his family but also within the institution he so passionately nurtured.
The Access Family, united in their loss, remembered a man whose life was a beacon of innovation and leadership. Dr. Wigwe’s journey with Access Bank since 2002 was not merely a career but a mission to elevate and transform, leaving an indelible mark on the industry and those who had the honor of walking beside him.
