The President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio has mourned the sudden demise of the Chief Executive Officer of Access Holding, Mr Herbert Wigwe, his wife and son in a helicopter crash in California, USA.

Akpabio in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Hon. Eseme Eyiboh described the death of Mr Wigwe as a big loss not only to the Nigerian banking and finance industry where he held sway, but also to the country as a whole.

According to Senator Akpabio “I received with shock the news of the passing of Mr Wigwe and some of his family members in a helicopter crash in the USA. Mr Wigwe’s contribution to the growth of Nigerian banking industry and indeed the economy of the country were exemplary and commendable.
