October 20, (THEWILL) – Tochi, one of the surviving daughters of late Herbert Wigwe, the former CEO of Access Holdings, has been appointed to the board of her late father’s foundation, Herbert Onyewumbu Wigwe, HOW, a non-profit organization founded in 2016 and headquartered in Lagos.
HOW Foundation focuses on youth empowerment, on health, specifically malaria and prostate cancer. The foundation finances leadership and mentorship seminars with United Kingdom based motivational speaker Joshua Ajitena for students in government secondary schools, and awards prizes and scholarships to top students.
The foundation is also a major sponsor of God’s Children Great Talent, an annual gospel-focused talent contest for children and young people organized by the City of David parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, where he worshiped until his death.
Tochi who holds a master’s degree in Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Management from Imperial College Business School, London, and a bachelor’s degree in social and Cultural Analysis from New York University (NYU) is expected to bring her wealth of expertise in strategic management and social entrepreneurship to bear on the foundation. Her career has been driven by a passion for developing transformative solutions that bridge the public and private sectors, making her a perfect fit for the foundation’s goals of youth empowerment, education, and healthcare. Her ability to forge strategic partnerships and deliver impactful programs will be instrumental in expanding the foundation’s reach and amplifying its mission.
Tochi who comes across as very courageous, intelligent and bold will no doubt make her late parents proud as she joins to steer the ship of the foundation which owns the Wigwe University to its next level.
