President Bola Tinubu of Nigeria praised Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, Chairman of Access Holdings Plc and Coronation Group, on his 60th birthday, recognising his contributions to Nigerian business and finance.
Tinubu acknowledged Aig-Imoukhuede’s leadership at Access Bank, where he oversaw significant growth starting in 2002, and his service as president of the Nigerian Stock Exchange and founding chairman of FMDQ Securities Exchange.
The President also commended Aig-Imoukhuede and his wife, Ofovwe, for their work through the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation, which supports public service and healthcare in Nigeria. Tinubu also congratulated Olugbile Holloway, Director-General of the National Commission for Museums and Monuments, on being named to the inaugural TIME100 Art list. Holloway’s work with Oba Ewuare II, the Oba of Benin, helped Nigeria establish a framework for recovering and conserving returned Benin artefacts, historical bronze sculptures, from other countries.
Since his appointment in March 2024, Holloway and the Commission secured the return of 235 Benin Bronzes and Ikom monoliths from the Netherlands, the University of Cambridge, and Switzerland. They also launched Nigeria’s first digital museum of antiquities, making over 200 objects available online. Tinubu stated the return of these cultural items represents historical justice and a restoration of dignity.
