Leaving the tarmac: buying a bank in Africa
When Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede and Herbert Wigwe bought Access Bank in 2002 it was one of the smallest and most crisis-prone banks in Nigeria. In 'Leaving the tarmac', Aigboje shares their experience of turning it into one of the biggest and strongest banks in the country. Leaving the tarmac provides a detailed blueprint for how to create a sustainable business founded on excellence, how to build and lead a winning team, and how to operate successfully in emerging markets.
