Access Holdings Plc has appointed Bolaji Agbede as the acting group chief executive officer (GCEO).

The appointment was announced in a corporate filing on the Nigerian ExchangeGroup (NGX) on Monday.

The development comes three days after the death of Herbert Wigwe, the company’s former GCEO.

Wigwe died in a helicopter crash alongside his wife, son, and Abimbola Ogunbanjo, a former chairman of the NGX, on Friday in the US.

In the corporate filing, the board of directors said Agbede’s appointment is subject to the approval of the Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN).

“Further to its announcement dated February 11, 2024, the Board of Directors of Access Holdings Plc (‘the Company’) has today announced the appointment of Ms Bolaji Agbede as the Acting Group Chief Executive Officer of the Company following the unfortunate demise of its former Group Chief Executive Officer, Dr Herbert Wigwe, on February 9, 2024,” the bank said.

Commenting on the leadership change, Abubakar Jimoh, the company’s chairman, said Agbede’s appointment aligns with the bank’s robust succession planning practices.
