On February 10, a helicopter carrying Herbert Wigwe, the CEO of Access Holdings, crashed in the United States of America (USA), with no survivors. Along with Wigwe, his wife, son, and Abimbola Ogunbanjo, a former president of the National Council of the Nigeria Stock Exchange, were also on board. The flight, documented as N130CZ, was operated by Orbic Air LLC and took off from Palm Springs, California, before disappearing near Fort Irwin/Barstow. Just prior to the accident, Wigwe shared messages on his social media account about the gift of life and living with purpose, kindness, and gratitude. Following the tragedy, social media users reflected on life and death, with many Nigerians finding Wigwe’s inspirational presence on social media to be a source of inspiration.
Today and always, let us remember that life is a precious gift – a chance to breathe, feel, love, experience and connect.
Let's honor this gift by living with purpose, kindness, and gratitude, making every moment count.
Let us number our days.#HOW pic.twitter.com/U0ePI0pXl5— Herbert Wigwe, C.F.R (@HerbertOWigwe) January 19, 2024
