In the media: Banking on success. Book review in African Business.

In his new book, Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede recounts how he helped to build Access Bank into one of Nigeria’s top five banking institutions.

Review by Stephen Williams

When Nigerian bankers Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede and Herbert Wigwe led the acquisition of Access Bank in 2002, few could see the business logic of the move. Yet the next decade would vindicate the duo.

Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede’s narrative describing the rise of Access Bank from a struggling, crisis-ridden bank in the nether regions of the Nigerian banking fraternity to become a top-five institution in the country is a remarkable one.
