Nigerian business mogul and Africa\u2019s richest man has named its largest road network to Dangote Refinery after the late founder and Group Chief Executive Officer of Access Bank Holdings, Herbert Wigwe.<\/p>\n
On Monday, Dangote announced this in his condolence speech at a night of tribute titled \u2018Celebrating Herbert Wigwe- A Professional Legacy\u2019 in Lagos.<\/p>\n
According to him, the decision was to immortalize Wigwe.<\/p>\n
\u201cHerbert was a visionary, role model, and perfectionist who gave much of himself. He is no longer here with us, but his transformative strides are seen throughout our economic landscape and social milieu.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am proud to name him my devoted friend, mentee and brother.<\/p>\n
\u201cFinding another Herbert is difficult; I owe him an eternal gratitude.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlthough he never joined the military line, he can be considered a soldier of courage and distinction.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo immortalize my beloved friend, brother and mentee, I have decided to name our major refinery and petrochemical road, out of the 120 kilometres, the biggest road will be named Herbert Wigwe\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n
Recall that Wigwe\u2019s family had announced a burial arrangement programme for the late Access Holdings Boss.<\/p>\n
Less than a month ago, precisely February 9 this year, Wigwe, his wife Chizoba, son Chizi and the former group chairman of Nigerian Exchange Group Plc, Abimbola Ogunbajo, died in an unfortunate helicopter crash in California, United States.<\/p>\n
