Access Holdings Plc, the parent company of Nigeria’s largest bank by assets, has announced the appointment of Bolaji Agbede as the acting Group Chief Executive Officer. This decision follows the untimely death of Herbert Wigwe in a tragic helicopter crash last week.
Bolaji Agbede, who previously served as Access’s most senior founding executive director overseeing business support, has been chosen to lead the organization during this challenging time.
The appointment was disclosed in a filing submitted to the Nigerian Stock Exchange. However, the appointment is contingent upon approval from the central bank, Access Holdings Plc noted.
Bolaji Agbede’s extensive experience and familiarity with Access’s operations position her as a capable leader to steer the organization forward in the interim. The company expressed confidence in her ability to uphold the values and vision set forth by Wigwe during his tenure.
