The company stated: “Herbert Wigwe was more than a leader; he was a visionary who believed that true success lies in creating opportunities, uplifting communities, and driving change that endures.
“He looked beyond obstacles to focus on solutions, growth, and positive transformation, inspiring impact across Africa.
“With an unwavering belief that Africa’s boundless potential resides in the hands of its young people, Herbert Wigwe did not merely speak about making a difference, he lived it.
