Shyngle Wigwe, the father of billionaire business mogul and late former Chief Executive Officer of Access Holdings, Herbert Wigwe, celebrated his 90th birthday on Wednesday.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that a birthday dinner was held in Lagos to honour the pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God.
Amongst individuals and organisations who celebrated Shyngle was Access Bank, and the chairman of Access Holdings, Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, sent cakes on behalf of his family and the bank.
Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest man and a close friend of the celebrant’s late son, joined Shyngle’s friends and family throughout the celebration.
Pastor Shyngle was born on October 8, 1934, to the family of Augustus Wigwe, a police officer, and Watuze Wigwe in Isiokpo, Rivers State.
His son, Wigwe, died in a helicopter crash near a border city between Nevada and California in the United States alongside his wife and son on February 6.
They were buried on March 9, 2024, after a combined funeral service at the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Lion of Judah Parish, Isiokpo, was held.
