Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, has insisted that the Chief Executive Officer of Access Holding, Herbert Wigwe, never believed in cutting corners to achieve business success.<\/p>\n

He said this while reacting to the sudden demise of Wigwe, his wife, son, and others in a helicopter crash in California, USA.<\/p>\n

Senator Akpabio, in a statement on Sunday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Eseme Eyiboh, described the death of Wigwe as a big loss to Nigeria and the Nigerian banking and finance industry.<\/p>\n

The statement partly reads: \u201cI received with shock the news of the passing of Wigwe and some of his family members in a helicopter crash in the USA. He was a man of integrity who never believed in cutting corners to achieve success in business.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn behalf of the 10th Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I offer our condolences to the Wigwe family, the Board and Management of Access Bank, the Governor of Rivers State and the President.\u201d<\/p>\n

Akpabio prayed for the repose of the souls of the deceased.<\/p>\n
