The family of the late Herbert Wigwe, the former group chief executive officer (GCEO) of Access Holdings Plc, has announced 6-day arrangements for his burial rites, alongside Chizoba, his wife; and Chizi, his son.
Recall that earlier this month, Wigwe was involved in a chopper crash in the US alongside Chizoba and Chizi.
The former group chairman of Nigerian Exchange Group Plc (NGX Group), Abimbola Ogunbanjo, was also aboard the chopper, with all passengers confirmed dead hours later.
According to the burial programme, the funeral ceremony of the Wigwes will begin with a celebration of the professional legacy of Wigwe at the Eko Hotel in Lagos on March 4, and will end with an outing service at the Redeemed Christian Church Of God (RCCG), Lion of Judah Parish, Isiokpo, Ikwerre LGA, Rivers, on March 10.
The lives of Chizi and Chizoba will be celebrated in separate ceremonies scheduled for March 5 at the Eko Hotel in Lagos, before a night of tributes a day later at the same venue.
A combined service of songs will be held on March 7 at the RCCG, Resurrection Parish, Lekki, followed by a Christian wake-keeping at Wigwe University, Isiokpo, Ikwerre LGA, Rivers.
The combined funeral and private interment service are scheduled for March 9.
