United Bank for Africa has disclosed that it is set to partner international institutions on strengthening its corporate banking, payment technology and trade finance.
UBA Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Kennedy Uzoka, who spoke at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, highlighted efforts aimed at rejuvenating the continent’s financial sector from Nigeria.
He disclosed that the event would provide a forum for the bank to build engagement with international institutions. Despite the strong economic headwinds across Africa currently, the UBA boss disclosed that the bank was committed to increasing its pan-African footprint.
Uzoka said, “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.”
The UBA delegation, which interacted with global business and political leaders at the event, included the Group Head, UBA Correspondent Banking, Mr. Sola Yomi-Ajayi and Head of Embassies and Development Organisations, Ms. Dupe Olusola, among others
