Dangote names 120km refinery road after Wigwe
Billionaire businessman, Aliko Dangote, has named the 120km road leading to his refinery in Lagos after the late Herbert Wigwe, in recognition of his exceptional contributions to the project.
The announcement was made on Monday during a special event held at Eko Hotel, Lagos, titled ‘Celebrating Herbert Wigwe – A Professional Legacy.’
Dangote paid tribute to the former Chief Executive Officer of Access Holdings, highlighting Wigwe’s dedication and expertise.
“To immortalise my beloved friend, my brother and mentee, I’ve actually decided to name our major refinery and petrochemical road out of the 120km road, the biggest road will now be named Herbert Wigwe,” Dangote said.
On February 9, Wigwe, his wife, Doreen; son Chizi; and a former Group Chairman of Nigerian Exchange Group, Abimbola Ogunbanjo, died in a helicopter crash that occurred near a border town between California and Nevada in the United States.

Nuclear energy provides almost 20 percent of the U.S. electricity supply. Advocates have called for an expanded role for nuclear as an emissions-free fuel source. But the economics of building new reactors are daunting. In addition, lingering safety concerns are an institutionalized part of the calculation of nuclear regulation, and highly radioactive nuclear waste remains a can that public officials have been inclined to kick down the road. The Energy Information Administration projects a sharp decline in nuclear power generation over the next decade, as new nuclear plants — two are planned — are more than offset by anticipated retirements of several operating reactors.
