With the recent entry into Tanzania, Access Holdings targets local, regional, and international revenue opportunities across within the East African region.
The announcement, made during the Choose France Summit 2024, solidifies Aig-Imoukhuede’s role in fostering economic ties between the two nations.
The group finds renewed support with the return of Aig-Imoukhuede, a business and philanthropic leader, following the passing of banking titan Herbert Wigwe.
In a post-meeting interaction, Aig-Imoukhuede reaffirmed the group’s commitment to industry recapitalization and delivering consistent returns to shareholders.
Critics have previously expressed concerns that Access Holdings’ historical reporting practices may have obscured the true scale of its legal issues.
The decision for his return followed extensive consultations with key stakeholders, and the holdco board unanimously agreed to invite him to helm governance.
Aig-Imoukhuede is the former CEO of Access Bank.
The Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation is a philanthropic organization committed to improving the lives of Africans.
The duo have signed a deal with the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa.
