Investigations reveal that the late Dr. Herbert Wigwe constructed an impressive private tomb for himself within the grounds of his university before his demise, featuring a beautiful stamped concrete walkway, vibrant greenery, and top-notch Italian Carara marble tombs for his wife and son who also perished in the air crash.
The transparent private cemetery, adorned with exquisite granite finishes, is a testament to Dr. Wigwe's wealth and vision. The Wigwe International University, under construction, reflects his detribalized approach, employing 60% local labor from Rivers State.
The university's rapid development and the ongoing construction of internal roads suggest a commitment to fulfilling Dr. Wigwe's vision. His tragic death occurred alongside his wife and son in a helicopter accident on February 9, 2024, leaving behind a legacy of passion and transformation at Access Bank.
Mr. Abubakar Jimoh, Chairman of Access Holdings, expressed deep condolences, acknowledging Dr. Wigwe's prodigious intellect and vast business experience that greatly benefited the Access Family.
