The Chairman of Heirs Holdings, Tony Elumelu, has paid a glowing tribute to the former Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Access Holdings Plc, Herbert Wigwe.
Speaking at the Memorial Service in honour of the late banker in Lagos on Tuesday, Elumelu said the late Wigwe was a loyal friend and was always challenging the norm.
The Chairman of the United Bank for Africa (UBA) said the deceased loved children and was a great family man.
Speaking further, Elumelu described the late 57-year-old as a transformational leader and a great African.
