Titi Ogunbanjo, the wife of the late former group chairman of the Nigeria Exchange (NGX) Group, Abimbola Ogunbanjo, finds herself engulfed in sorrow as she commemorates her birthday amidst the tragic loss of her husband.

Although Mrs. Ogunbanjo marks another year of life on this Monday, the recent passing of her husband in a helicopter crash on February 9 in the United States casts a somber shadow over any celebration plans for the family.

Abimbola Ogunbanjo, along with the chief executive officer of Access Holdings, Herbert Wigwe, Chizoba Wigwe (Wigwe’s wife), and their first son Chizi, tragically lost their lives in the accident.
