In 2019, Goodluck Enimakpokpo,PhD,MBA,MSc,PMP,CEng a professional colleague who became a good friend, visited iCentra’s Abuja office with his colleague from hashtag#GE.As I welcomed them into my office, the colleague noticed the portraits of distinguished African business leaders on my wall and inquired about them. Goodluck, in a light-hearted manner, asked if it was because Herbert, her brother wasn’t featured. She followed up by asking, “Where is your family picture?” I pointed it out on my shelf. She then advised that regardless of whether I had Herbert among the business icons I admire, I should never overlook what matters most: family. After all, family is everything. That interaction with Ms. Joyce Shyngle-Wigwe JSD, B.Sc. Herbert’s elder sister, offered me a glimpse into her appreciation for family and, by extension, the hashtag#Wigwe family’s values. Thus, when Herbert tragically passed away with his wife and son, I deeply understood the message Ms. Wigwe imparted during our serendipitous meeting. Although I never had the privilege of meeting Herbert Wigwe, C.F.R , the late founder of Access Bank Plc and Wigwe University, his persona and legacy cast a long shadow in death. The numerous tributes that poured in posthumously bore witness to his character and his commitment to making a positive impact on society.In a world where self-interest often prevails and humanity towards one another is rare, Herbert devoted his life and resources to serving and loving others. Mother Teresa of Calcutta once said, “Not all of us can do great things, but we can do small things with great love.” Therefore, each day as I enter my office, I am reminded by the image and words of the late Herbert O. Wigwe to ‘honor the gift of life by living with purpose, kindness, and gratitude—and to make every moment count.’” At the end of the day “No one will be remembered for their wealth, but rather for the impact they made in the lives of others.” – hashtag#PheekWords TAB hashtag#TABDairy hashtag#HOW hashtag#Wigwe hashtag#iCentra hashtag#UNLOCK hashtag#LeadPreneur
