The decision to invite Aig-Imoukhuede to lead the organization was reached unanimously by the Board, as announced in a statement on Wednesday.

Expressing his enthusiasm for his return, Aig-Imoukhuede stated, “I am thrilled to be back in active service to the Access Group ecosystem. I am confident that working with our directors, our exceptional team of executives, and our best-in-class banking and finance professionals, we will deliver outstanding value to our esteemed stakeholders. I am determined that our shared vision, which Dr. Wigwe gave everything for, will be realized.”

His return to Access Holdings as Non-Executive Chairman reflects the Board’s commitment to building upon the foundation laid by him and Dr. Wigwe. In his new role, Aig-Imoukhuede will provide strategic guidance to the executive management team, drawing upon his extensive experience and industry knowledge.

Commenting on Aig-Imoukhuede’s appointment, Abubakar Jimoh, the outgoing Chairman of Access Holdings, remarked, “Mr. Aig-Imoukhuede’s appointment to the Board and subsequent election as Chairman is a landmark development for Access Holdings. All our board members are excited about our future.”
