On Monday, Dangote introduced this in his condolence speech at an evening of tribute titled ‘Celebrating Herbert Wigwe- A Skilled Legacy’ in Lagos.
In keeping with him, the choice was to immortalize Wigwe.
“Herbert was a visionary, function mannequin, and perfectionist who gave a lot of himself. He’s now not right here with us, however his transformative strides are seen all through our financial panorama and social milieu.
“I’m proud to call him my devoted good friend, mentee and brother.
“Discovering one other Herbert is troublesome; I owe him an everlasting gratitude.
“Though he by no means joined the army line, he may be thought of a soldier of braveness and distinction.
“To immortalize my beloved good friend, brother and mentee, I’ve determined to call our main refinery and petrochemical highway, out of the 120 kilometres, the largest highway might be named Herbert Wigwe”, he mentioned.
Recall that Wigwe’s household had introduced a burial association programme for the late Entry Holdings Boss.
Lower than a month in the past, exactly February 9 this yr, Wigwe, his spouse Chizoba, son Chizi and the previous group chairman of Nigerian Trade Group Plc, Abimbola Ogunbajo, died in an unlucky helicopter crash in California, United States.
