Leading pan-African financial institution, United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc, has restated its commitment to drive development, growth and unity in Africa.

Chairman, UBA Group, Tony Elumelu, speaking at the fifth edition of the UBA Africa Conversation, emphasized on the bank’s pivotal role in driving positive change across the continent and its dedication to unlocking Africa’s vast potential.

The bank also reaffirmed its commitment to promoting gender equality.

Executive Director/Chief Executive Officer, UBA Africa, Abiola Bawuah said:

“As it stands, we have more female board members than any bank, thanks to the Chairman of the board, Tony Elumelu, who believes that women can occupy top roles in organisations and excel.”

“This is very remarkable, and I know that other organisations have started trying to emulate this. So, by this move, we are leading the positive change in Africa, and this is very laudable.”

Group Managing Director, UBA Plc., Oliver Alawuba said:

“It is very apt for our conversation because of the challenges and the opportunities that Africa as a continent is faced with.”

“But the truth remains that between these challenges and opportunities is a thin line which we believe UBA Group can help unlock the challenges and engineer prosperity.”
