Save for last-minute change, the City of David Parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in Lagos will not play any visible role in the funeral rites of the late group chief executive officer (GCEO) of Access Holdings Plc, Herbert Wigwe, who died on board a chopper in US about three weeks ago.
Wigwe, who was an active member of the influential City of David Parish of RCCG, died alongside his wife, first son, a friend and former chairman of NGX, Abimbola Ogunbanjo, and crew members, in the air accident.
According to the programme, the funeral rites for the Wigwes will commence with a tribute to Herbert Wigwe’s professional legacy at the Eko Hotel in Lagos on March 4, 2024.
Separate ceremonies to honour Wigwe’s wife, Chizoba, and son Chizi, were scheduled for March 5 at the Eko Hotel in Lagos, followed by a night of tributes on March 6 at the same venue.
On March 7, a combined service of songs will take place at the RCCG, Resurrection Parish, Lekki, followed by a Christian wake-keeping at Wigwe University, Isiokpo, Ikwerre LGA of Rivers State.
On March 9, 2024, the funeral and private interment service for the three Wigwes will be held.
The final leg of the programme will be an outing ceremony at the RCCG, Lion of Judah Parish, Isiokpo, Ikwerre LGA, Rivers State, on March 10, 2024.
