UBA GMD leads bank’s team to World Economic Summit

The Group Managing Director (GMD) of United Bank for Africa Plc, Mr. Kennedy Uzoka, is leading a delegation of the bank to the yearly World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Davos, Switzerland.

Uzoka leads a senior executive team to meet other world business leaders and bankers at one of the most important events on the global economic calendar.

The UBA delegation will interact with global business and political leaders during the event which started on Tuesday.

The UBA team includes Group Head of Correspondent Banking, Sola Yomi-Ajayi and Head of Embassies and Development Organisations (EMDOs), Dupe K. Olusola, responsible for relationships with multilateral and development organisations.

UBA has established itself as one of Africa’s leading financial institutions, with presence in 19 African countries, as well as globally in London, New York and Paris.

The event will provide a forum for UBA to build engagement with international institutions.

Despite the strong economic headwinds across Africa currently, the Group is committed to increasing its pan-African footprint.

Its strengths in corporate banking, payment technology, trade finance, and its millions-strong customer base make UBA a natural partner for global businesses focused on the African opportunity.

Uzoka said about the event: “It is critical that UBA joins world business and political leaders to discuss issues central to the progress of our world, and with specific relevance to the continent of Africa. UBA is the natural partner for those seeking access to Africa’s business opportunities – we look forward to engaging with the world’s business community – to show that Africa is open to business and that UBA is ready to partner.”
