The family of late Herbert Wigwe, the former Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) of Access Holdings Plc, has announced a 6-day program for his burial rites.

Recall, Theliberationnews reported that Wigwe lost his life alongside Chizoba, his wife; and Chizi, his son in a chopper crash in the US earlier in the month.

Also, Abimbola Ogunbanjo, the former group chairman of Nigerian Exchange Group Plc (NGX Group), was also aboard the chopper, with all passengers confirmed dead hours later.

In a programme sighed by Theliberationnews, the burial ceremony of the Wigwes will begin with a celebration of the professional legacy of the successful banker 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 internment service are scheduled for March 9.
