The Wigwes Laid To Rest

Access Holdings CEO, Herbert Wigwe, his wife Doreen Chizoba, and son Chizzy were laid to rest today in a private mausoleum on the grounds of Wigwe University, the institution Dr Wigwe founded in Isiokpo, Rivers State.

A somber atmosphere enveloped the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Isiokpo, where mourners gathered for a heartfelt funeral service.

The emotional congregation then proceeded to the family’s private tomb on the university grounds, where the burial rites commenced at 2:45 pm. Tears flowed freely as the caskets were tenderly lowered into their final resting place.

The tragic demise of Herbert Wigwe, his wife, and son occurred in a helicopter crash near the Nevada border in California on February 9, 2024.

Among the casualties was also Abimbola Ogunbanjo, Chairman of the Nigerian Exchange Group Plc.

Expressing condolences, Governor Siminalayi Fubara conveyed the state government’s unwavering support for Wigwe University in this challenging time.
