Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, a prominent figure in Nigerian business circles, has been reinstated as the non-executive chairman of Access Holdings after a decade-long absence from the position.
In a statement released late Wednesday, the company secretary Sunday Ekwochi announced Aig-Imoukhuede's return to the helm. This decision follows the recent passing of Herbert Wigwe, the former Group Chief Executive Officer of Access Holdings. The company emphasized that Aig-Imoukhuede's appointment was the result of extensive consultations with key stakeholders and reflects a commitment to building upon the foundation established during his previous tenure.
Aig-Imoukhuede, who served as the bank's Chief Executive Officer for ten years before stepping down, brings a wealth of experience and leadership to his new role as chairman. Described as a visionary and accomplished leader, he is expected to guide Access Holdings into a new era of success. In his statement, Aig-Imoukhuede expressed confidence in realizing the shared vision that Wigwe had dedicated himself to, emphasizing the importance of collaboration and teamwork in achieving outstanding results.
This appointment comes on the heels of Access Holdings' decision to appoint Bolaji Agbede as the Acting Group Chief Executive Officer following Wigwe's passing. The Board of Directors emphasized that Aig-Imoukhuede's return is integral to leveraging his extensive experience, industry knowledge, and exceptional leadership skills to build upon the growth and accomplishments achieved under Wigwe's stewardship.
