Otutochi, Wigwe, the daughter of late Herbert Wigwe, has reemerged into her own woman, after grieving the loss of her parents and older brother. In Lagos, London, town hall and foundation meetings, she is steadily sketching her own future.
Tochi as she is fondly called, armed with degrees from Imperial College Business School and New York University, has taken up the family’s philanthropic mantle. Tochi, whose path is tethered to the legacy of her late father, has chosen continuity through impact, weaving resilience into a new kind of inheritance.
She now directs the HOW Foundation, focusing on education, healthcare and youth empowerment while also steering her own TW Entrepreneurship 2030Agenda for Nigerian Small Medium Enterprises, SMEs. The initiative nicknamed TWE Agenda is ambitious. She aims to reach more than 5000, entrepreneurs through town hall meetings and data driven support in five years. The plan is to give small business structure to grow, compete and endure.
Good enough, Tochi doesn’t mimic her father’s style, she improvises on her own. While her father was a boardroom titan, she plans to build a legacy with entrepreneurs.
