The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, offered heartfelt condolences to the late Herbert Wigwe, former Chief Executive Officer of Access Holdings Plc, who tragically lost his life in a helicopter crash.
Adeboye commended the late Herbert Wigwe for his dedication to philanthropy.
During the Service of Songs on Thursday at the RCCG Resurrection Parish in Lekki, Lagos, Wigwe was also fondly remembered for his steadfast dedication to the gospel.
The service also paid tribute to Wigwe’s wife, Doreen, and their son, Chizi, both of whom lost their lives in the same helicopter crash that claimed the life of Abimbola Ogunbanjo, former Chairman of the Nigerian Exchange group.
Pastor Charles Pande, the head of Region 11 of RCCG and the Blessed Family, conveyed a segment of Pastor Adeboye’s condolence message, providing words of solace and encouragement to the congregation.

“Dr Wigwe was not only an accomplished professional but a fine gentleman, possessing a prodigious intellect, admirable personal qualities and business acumen. His dedication to philanthropy, nation-building, advocacy for children’s literacy and love for the arts made him a remarkable individual.
“More importantly, his commitment to the Christian faith and active involvement in spreading the gospel were exemplary. We share in your profound grief during his challenging time. The void left by Dr Herbert will be felt and his absence deeply felt by all who had the privilege of knowing him.”
Friends, family, and community members attended the service to commemorate the remarkable lives and contributions of the Wigwe family.
