In a statement shared on the bank’s official X handle on Monday, Access Bank said Wigwe’s legacy continues to resonate through the institution’s values, standards, and long-term vision.
“Two years on, the absence of Dr. Herbert Onyewumbu Wigwe remains deeply felt across our organisation and the wider financial community,” the statement read. “A visionary leader, he shaped Access Bank with courage, clarity, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. His influence remains evident in the culture of excellence that defines our operations.”
