The late Chief Executive Officer of Access Holdings Plc, Herbert Wigwe, was remembered for his remarkable philanthropy and unwavering commitment to the gospel at a moving Service of Songs on Thursday.
The event, which also honored the lives of Wigwe’s wife, Doreen, and their son, Chizi, took place at the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Resurrection Parish in Lekki, Lagos.
The family tragically lost their lives in a helicopter crash in the United States in early February, an event that also claimed the life of Abimbola Ogunbanjo, a former Chairman of the Nigerian Exchange group.
The General Overseer of RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, paid tribute to Wigwe’s legacy, highlighting his generosity and dedication to spreading the Christian faith.
Pastor Charles Pande, the Pastor in charge of Region 11 of RCCG and Head of the Blessed Family, read an excerpt of Adeboye’s condolence message during the service, providing words of comfort and exhortation to the congregation.
The service brought together friends, family, and members of the community to celebrate the lives and contributions of the Wigwe family.
In his message, Pastor Adeboye stated, “Dr Wigwe was not only an accomplished professional but a fine gentleman, possessing a prodigious intellect, admirable personal qualities and business acumen. His dedication to philanthropy, nation-building, advocacy for children’s literacy and love for the arts made him a remarkable individual.
“More importantly, his commitment to the Christian faith and active involvement in spreading the gospel were exemplary. We share in your profound grief during his challenging time. The void left by Dr Herbert will be felt and his absence deeply felt by all who had the privilege of knowing him.”
