Aliko Dangote, the Chairman and CEO of Dangote Group, has named the road leading to his Lagos refinery after the late Herbert Wigwe.
Dangote, while paying his tribute to the late billionaire banker in a programme organised in his honour, said though the former Access Holdings CEO didn’t join the military but he could be referred to as a soldier.
Dangote, who was full of emotion, expressed a sense of a deep loss in the person of Wigwe to the banking profession, Nigeria and global space.
“Part of the 120km refinery road. The biggest road will be now named Herbert Wigwe,” he announced.
He added that by naming the road after Herbert Wigwe, “people will see this road leading to the refinery and would find out who was this Herbert Wigwe.“
According to him, Wigwe was a man loved by all and who lived a life worthy of emulation.
Recall that the Chief Executive Officer of Access Holdings died in February along his wife and son in an helicopter crash in California, the United States of America.
