In recognition of his extraordinary contribution to the project, Aliko Dangote, has named the 120 km road leading to his refinery in Lagos after the late Access Holdings Group Chief Executive Officer, Herbert Wigwe.
This was disclosed on Monday, during a special event held in honour of the late banker at Eko Hotel, Lagos, titled ‘Celebrating Herbert Wigwe – A Professional Legacy,’ according to The Punch.
Dangote paid tribute to the departed, mentioning Wigwe’s dedication and expertise.
He said “To immortalize my beloved friend, my brother, and mentee, I’ve actually decided to name our major refinery and petrochemical road-out of the 120km road, the biggest road will now be named Herbert Wigwe.
“I am proud to name it after him, my devoted friend, mentee, and supporter. I will forever cherish the warmth of his friendship.”
He was a dependable mentor, willing to go all the way in order to help him and his family, according to the business man.
Recall, 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.
