Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede assumes the role of non-executive chairman at Access Holdings Plc, succeeding Abubakar Jimoh.
Jimoh remains on the Board as an independent non-executive director.
According to Access Holdings, Aig-Imoukhuede’s appointment heralds a new era of success, recognizing his extensive leadership experience in the banking and finance sector.
The decision follows the unfortunate passing of Dr. Herbert Wigwe, the former Group CEO, prompting the Board’s unanimous invitation to Aig-Imoukhuede.
During his tenure as Access Bank’s CEO from 2002 to 2013, Aig-Imoukhuede, alongside Dr. Wigwe, significantly expanded the bank’s reach and stature, turning it into a top-tier institution with a global presence.
His strategic acumen and market insight were pivotal to this growth.
Since his retirement, Aig-Imoukhuede has remained active, co-founding the Tengen Family Office Limited and championing initiatives through the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation.
Abubakar Jimoh and Aig-Imoukhuede both express optimism for the future of Access Holdings under the latter’s leadership, emphasizing a commitment to delivering value to stakeholders and realizing their shared vision.
