Access Holdings Plc has appointed Bolaji Agbede as the Acting Group Chief Executive Officer, succeeding Herbert Wigwe, who passed away.
Recall that Summit Nigeria reported that Wigwe, who was the Group Chief Executive Officer of Access Holdings, died in a helicopter crash in the US alongside his wife, son, and a former Group Chairman of the Nigerian Exchange Group, Abimbola Ogunbanjo.
Following this, Access Holdings in a statement issued by its secretary, Sunday Ekwochi, stated that the banking sector has announced Agbede as the company’s new chief.
