Dangote Names Refinery Road After Wigwe

Billionaire businessman, Aliko Dangote, has named the 120-kilometre road leading to his refinery in Lagos after the late Group Chief Executive Officer of Access Holdings, Herbert Wigwe, in recognition of his exceptional contributions to the project.

The announcement was made yesterday during a special event held in honour of the late banker in Lagos, titled ‘Celebrating Herbert Wigwe – A Professional Legacy.’

Dangote paid tribute to the deceased, highlighting Wigwe’s dedication and expertise.

The businessman described him as a dependable mentee who was willing to go the extra mile to support him, his business, and his family.

On February 9, Wigwe, his wife, Doreen; 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.
