The biggest fear of top bankers Aigboje Aig Imoukhuede and Herbert Wigwe has been laid bare.
The checks by SocietyNow.Ng revealed that shareholders and related stakeholders in Access Bank have benefited massively from this fear.
Imoukhuede and Wigwe are the friends and business partners that acquired Access Bank through a N1Billion public subscription offer put up by the management in 2001.
They have transformed the bank from a rung of the ladder player to one definition of best-run internationally-recognized business entities over the years.
Imoukhuede who served as the Chief Executive Officer – after the acquisition – for twelve years before handing the baton of leadership to his deputy and friend, Wigwe has revealed the biggest fear that propelled them to greater heights.
“If you were to ask herbert, to describe the worst thing that could happen to him as a banking professional he would answer, just as I would, ‘the failure of a bank under my management”…” Imoukhuede revealed in his book “LEAVING THE TARMAC…BUYING A BANK AFRICA”.
The must-read book tells the story of burning ambition, clarity, grits, and determination in acquiring and making Access Bank an industry reference point by two friends and professional colleagues who ‘shared the same belief and values regarding how a bank should be run.”
