The CEO and Group Managing Director, Access Bank, Herbert Wigwe has emerged as the Best Banking CEO in the recently concluded 2021 Global Brands Magazine Awards.
Speaking on this Award, Herbert Wigwe said, “This feat would not have been possible without the incredible team at Access Bank who have consistently put in their best to ensure that we achieve our vision of becoming the world’s most respected African bank. Together, we have made decisions, taken risks, and taken on challenges that have led to this recognition. Once again, I deeply appreciate this award and I am confident that this is the beginning of many more giant strides for Access Bank.”
