He described Phillips Oduoza as a wonderful colleague and supporter, a man who loves and encourages progress and a man who always works for the best of the corporate.  “The performance of UBA today both financial and brand equity are attributable to Phillips and all the professional teams at UBA. PO, as he is fondly called, has served his time at the helm of the Bank, pushing to achieve the strategic vision as outlined by our Board of Directors for the bank here in Nigeria and across Africa. He leaves behind a bank that is not only a dominant player in Africa but  also one with the best asset quality ratios in the African banking industry” Elumelu said.

He drove the reforms in the sector that has now made it easier for many Nigerians to use their cards locally and internationally and also witness the growth of various e-channels in the country” HRH Emir Sanusi II, said

He commended Oduoza for his contributions to the Nigerian banking system describing him as a man of integrity who deserves all the accolades he is getting.

He also thanked the banking regulators for providing the enabling environment that made the bank thrive during his tenure as well as staff and executive management of the bank, who he said were largely responsible for all the bank’s achievement during his tenor as  GMD. He stated that he would continue to contribute his quota to the development of the Nigerian banking system.”

In his short speech Mr. Uzoka thanked the Board and stakeholders for the opportunity to be the new helmsman and promised that he and his team would build on the foundation laid by Oduoza to take the bank to greater heights.
