United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc. in its commitment to reward excellence and high performance has announced the promotion and elevation of about 2000 of its work force, representing about 17% of its total staff strength.

This is coming as a result of the remarkable contribution the staff members have made to the bank’s business growth as highlighted by the impressive performance recorded in its recently released 2017 financial year end results.

About a year ago, the financial institute had promoted 3,000 staff members, 25% of its workforce, while also doling out cash rewards to deserving staff for exemplary conduct and performance. This year’s promotion, as with others, have been commended by human resources analysts who have noted that UBA, which was mentioned in a recent survey as one of the “Best 100 Companies To Work For in Nigeria” has become synonymous with rewarding excellence.

The elevated staff that cut across all units, divisions and 19 countries where UBA operates were selected after the completion of appraisal system that identified high performers in the bank among other criteria.

Meanwhile, Mr. Kennedy Uzoka, Group Managing Director/CEO, UBA Plc who felicitated with the promoted staff members said… “I congratulate all for their well-deserved elevation. I also wish to especially thank those colleagues who have not made it on this year’s list. I implore you to keep up your contribution, as your efforts are recognised. There are several other ways that we will continue to reward and recognise your contributions and we intend to use all opportunities to demonstrate this.”
