DBanji Hosts Access Bank CEO, Herbert Wigwe On Social Media
Musician turned celebrity DBanji played host to Access Bank CEO, Herbert Wigwe taking questions from friends, fans on every and anything via Access Bankโs Instagram live feed.
Here are some of the pictures and discussions shared by the two;
DโBanj: Run us through the journey so far.
Herbert: I always knew I wanted to do something interesting, something different, hence my fascination with accounting, and by extension, banking. My mantra is โif you do it well, youโll do well in lifeโ. I believe Access Bank is still in its early stages, having spread across Africa, Europe and Asia, sooner than people know, โAccess Bank will be the worldโs most respected African bank, and everybody will see it.
DโBanj: With so much success, what makes you happy?
Herbert: My joy is hinged on the success of my team, mentees and family. My greatest joy is seeing my guys (the Access Bank team) do well. I am happy when my team is happy. My family and my children bring me so much joy and they are the reason why I work hard. I believe with my knack in ensuring my team succeeds, Access Bank is headed for the top and will be a global institute.
DโBanj: Run us through your typical day.
Herbert: I wake up by 5am every day and the first thing I do is say my prayers, as prayers are very important. I eventually leave the house by 6am to start my daily activities. I also go to the Bankโs gym at least four times a week to keep fit.
DโBanj: Whatโs a typical day like for the you at Access Bank?
Herbert: Once I get into my office, the first thing I do is check my emails from customers, to ensure that there are no issues, because my customers are my priority. Then I go ahead to do other activities like meetings.
DโBanj: What is Access Bank doing for young people?
Herbert: Access Bank is all about young people, we keep finding ways to support things young people are most interested in, like we have done with the โNolly Fundโ which is geared towards supporting Nollywood โ Nigeriaโs movie industry. Access Bank is also present in almost every university in Nigeria, this is our way of giving young people a unique banking experience.
DโBanj: Why did you leave GT Bank for Access Bank?
Herbert: I can draw some similarities with D’Banj’s story of leaving MoโHits. Leaving wasnโt due to any disagreement, but a need for the creation of an oasis.
DโBanj: This is my personal question. Will Access Bank sponsor the #MoHitsReUnion show in December?
Herbert: This will be a yes because you were missed at the #MavinConcert – sponsored by Access Bank in 2015 – and I am on board 1,000 % to sponsor the MoHits reunion concert.
DโBanj: What football club do you support?
Herbert: There was a time when I used to support football teams, until I realised I was too emotional to participate actively in that endeavour, I remember one time when Arsenal lost to Manchester United and I was so heartbroken by it that I was not able to function properly the next day, so I decided that I wasnโt going to support any team.
The only team I support is the Super eagles because I am very patriotic.
