Access Holdings Plc has appointed Innocent Ike as its substantive Group Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, effective August 29, 2025, following regulatory approval.
His appointment ends an 18-month interim leadership period under Ms. Bolaji Agbede, who will now return to her substantive role as Executive Director, Business Support.
Ike, a distinguished banker with over 30 years of industry experience, brings deep expertise in corporate, commercial, and public sector banking.
A First-Class graduate of Accounting from the University of Lagos, he is a Fellow of both the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN) and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN), and a Certified IFRS expert.

For Innocent Ike, he now leads an organisation defined by Wigwe’s bold expansionist vision and Agbede’s stabilising hand.
“I am honoured to take on the role of Group Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer,” Ike said after his appointment was confirmed. “I look forward to building on the strong legacy established by Herbert Wigwe and Bolaji Agbede and driving our vision forward, ensuring we continue to deliver exceptional value to our shareholders and stakeholders.”
