Today, the Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Acces Bank PLC, Herbert Wigwe, paid a courtesy visit to the Governor of Ogun State, Prince (Dr.) Dapo Abiodun at the Governor’s Office, Oke Mosan, Abeokuta.
During the visit, Mr. Wigwe disclosed plans by his bank to set up a “Support System” in Abeokuta by erecting a 15 story building and creative arts and entertainment village in Abeokuta. He further said that Access Bank was looking at a sector that would sit on 4 major hubs: Entertainment, Information Technology and skills, Nollywood and Music.
The Bank head also added that the creative sector which has been taken for granted for a long time could employ between two and three million people if looked into.
However, governor Dapo Abiodun applauded the decision of Access Bank PLC to partner with the Ogun State government in their quest to build the state through investment in the Creative Arts, Information Technology and Entertainment sector.
He said, ” I assured that our government would provide an enabling environment for a Public-Private Sector Partnership which would be fundamental to the economic growth of the state, noting that the visit was a clear testimony to the commitment of our administration’s desire to provide good governance”.
