“As United Bank for Africa, our focus is strongly on Africa because we believe that the future is Africa.” My recent visit to Zambia was an opportunity to engage directly with our customers, listen to their experiences, understand their aspirations, and strengthen the relationships that remain at the heart of UBA. Our presence across Africa is driven by a clear purpose. We are building a bank that understands the markets we serve, remains close to our customers, and plays a meaningful role in the continent’s growth. We carry the name United Bank for Africa with purpose, because we believe in Africa and in the enormous potential of its people, businesses, and communities. #LeadingWithImpact #AfricasGlobalBank

The visit provided an opportunity to reaffirm UBA’s longstanding partnership with the Nigerian Navy. Nigerian Navy remains on the institutions that all Nigerians should be proud of. We remain steadfast in our committement to building partnerships that strengthen institutions, empower people, and contribute to national development. #LeadingWithImpact

Aneke, Chief of Air Staff, as we reaffirmed the longstanding relationship between UBA and two of Nigeria’s most important security institutions. I commended the Officers and Soldiers of the Nigerian Army; the Officers, Airmen and Airwomen of the Nigerian Airforce, the Officers and Crew of the Nigerian Navy; and all Security personnel who continue to play vital roles in safeguarding our nation and supporting national development. We thanked them for their sacrifices, dedication, and unwavering commitment to service, acknowledging the discipline, resilience, and sense of duty they have demonstrated over the years.

𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 It was a privilege to welcome the newly elected executives of the Association of Professional Women Bankers (APWB) to UBA House, led by their 10th Chairperson, Mrs. Rafiat Oluwatoyin Onitiri, FCIB, representing a new chapter of intentional, values driven leadership for professional women across Nigeria’s banking sector. Our conversation reinforced something I deeply believe: women are not just participants in this industry but architects of its future. I am honoured to support the APWB’s mission and to walk alongside this generation of leaders as they build a legacy defined not by representation alone but by measurable and lasting impact across governance, innovation, talent development, and customer trust. The work of building an inclusive, high performing industry begins with moments like this. #LeadingWithImpact
