Yes, Herbert Wigwe, the MD of Access bank is a citizen of humanity! The seasons pass but Wigwe remains grand, like the nurturant guardian whose tenderness and warmth blesses the land. The story of his exquisite manhood resonates with a pleasant peal.
To the staff and management of Access Bank, his smiles have been their anchor, his shoulders their rampart of comfort. Herbert’s citizenship of humanity they claim, depicts his love of life and undying compassion for the needy and less privileged. Staff members of Access Bank Plc were pleasantly surprised on Monday as they had an increase in their salary despite the prevailing economic realities in the country.
Nigeria is suffering its worst economic downturn following the unexpected crash in the price of crude oil, its main source of income. Businesses including banks have cut jobs to save money while majority of the states and local governments owe months of unpaid salaries.
An employee, who expressed delight at this gesture from the bank confirmed this in confidence. “I am speechless. I don’t think anyone saw this coming, this is happening at a time when my friends in other banks are losing their jobs. It feels great to be supported in such trying times. Thank you Uncle Herbie.”
