 Access Holdings: From Global Trade Halls to Zambian Maternity Wards, A Vision in Action




When Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, Chairman, Access Holdings, stepped into the AfriCaribbean Trade & Investment Forum (ACTIF) 2025 in Grenada, the agenda was global, linking Africa and the Caribbean through new pathways in trade, energy, and digital innovation, National Association of Online Security News Publishers, NAOSNP can report.


Days later, he was thousands of miles away, walking through the halls of Zambia’s largest referral hospital, where Access Bank Zambia had just renovated a maternity ward.


The shift in setting, from high-level international dealmaking to hands-on community impact, captures the essence of Access Holdings’ approach: to make a positive impact in Africa


Building Bridges at ACTIF 2025


At ACTIF 2025, Aig-Imoukhuede joined heads of government, business leaders, and investors to explore opportunities for stronger Africa–Caribbean economic collaboration.


The discussions, focused on sectors like tourism, agriculture, renewable energy, and digital trade, highlighted the untapped potential for trade and investment flows between the two regions.


Accompanying him, Sunmbo Olatunji, CEO for Caribbean Expansion, Access Bank, described the Bank as a “bridge” for cross-continental partnerships. “We are building pathways for trade and investment that will outlast today’s market cycles,” she noted, underscoring the Group’s commitment to long-term, sustainable growth.


Powering Zambia’s Economic Future


Fresh from ACTIF, Aig-Imoukhuede travelled to Lusaka for a high-level meeting with President Hakainde Hichilema.


Discussions centred on Zambia’s energy and agriculture sectors, with the Chairman pledging up to $100 million in financing for strategic projects aimed at closing the country’s power generation and transmission gaps.


President Hichilema welcomed the commitment, stressing that increased energy investment would boost key industries, particularly mining, where copper production is expected to reach 1 million metric tonnes this year.


CSI at the Heart of Community Ties


The Chairman also paid a courtesy visit to Zambia’s Vice-President, H.E. W.K. Mutale Nalumango, where the spotlight shifted to Access Bank’s community impact and growing footprint in Zambia.


She cited the renovation of Maternity Ward B03 at the University Teaching Hospital and ongoing capacity-building programmes for women as clear examples of the Group’s commitment to social transformation.


Aig-Imoukhuede was joined by Access Bank Zambia Managing Director, Lishala C. Situmbeko, and Acting Board Chairperson, Mildred Kaunda, who reiterated the subsidiary’s role in delivering innovative financial solutions and empowering Zambians.


“Zambia is central to our pan-African vision. We are here to build enduring partnerships that unlock prosperity and improve lives” said Aig-Imoukhuede.


One Vision, Many Fronts


From forging trade links between Africa and the Caribbean to financing Zambia’s energy ambitions and improving local healthcare, Access Holdings is operating from a single, unifying vison: To be the World’s most respected African financial services group.
