Access Holdings Plc has announced the appointment of Mr. Innocent Ike as its substantive Group Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, effective August 29, 2025. The appointment followed the approval of financial regulators.

The development comes just hours after Mr. Roosevelt Ogbonna resigned from the company’s board in compliance with the Central Bank of Nigeria’s new corporate governance guidelines.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, Access Holdings described Ike’s appointment as the beginning of a new chapter for the group under the leadership of Chairman Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, who returned to the board after the passing of former Group CEO, Herbert Wigwe, in 2024.
