The governor described Wigwe as a quintessential banker who contributed immensely to the Nigerian economy, adding that he was a pillar of support to his administration’s 'Building Our Future Together' agenda.


According to him, Wigwe's death has created a void that will be difficult to fill.


He condoled with the families of the deceased, the management and staff of Access Holdings, the business communities, and the Rivers State government on the tragic incident.


He said: "I am deeply saddened by the news of the helicopter crash that claimed the lives of Herbert Wigwe and five others. My thoughts and prayers are with their families during this difficult time.

Prince Abiodun described the late Ogunbanjo as not just an exceptional businessman but also a man of great character and integrity. 


The governor noted that as chairman of NGX Group Plc, the deceased played a vital role in shaping the Nigerian financial market and contributed to its growth and development. 


"His dedication, passion, and unwavering commitment to excellence have left an indelible mark on the industry.
