Dangote Names Lagos Refinery Road After Herbert Wigwe

Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest man and head of the Dangote Group, has announced intentions to commemorate the late banking giant Herbert Wigwe by dedicating a road connecting to the Dangote Refinery after him.

Dangote revealed this while paying tribute to Wigwe at a memorial gathering hosted by professionals on Monday.

In his heartfelt tribute, the businessman and philanthropist stated, “To immortalize my beloved friend, my brother, and my mentee, I have decided to designate one of the major roads leading to the Dangote Refinery and Petrochemical Complex after him. Out of the 120 kilometers of road, the largest stretch will now bear the name ‘Herbert Wigwe.’”

It could be recalled that Dr. Herbert Wigwe, the Group CEO of Access Holdings, passed away in a helicopter crash in the United States, along with his wife Doreen Wigwe, his son Chizi Wigwe, and Abimbola Ogunbanjo, the former Group Chairman of the Nigerian Exchange Group Plc.
