The United Bank for Africa (UBA) has sent a strong delegation to the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF), which begins in Davos, Switzerland on Tuesday.
Chief Executive Officer, Kennedy Uzoka, is leading a senior executive team, at one of the most important events on the global economic calendar.
Also included are 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.
The UBA delegation will interact with global business and political leaders during the event.
WEF will provide a forum for UBA to build engagement with international institutions. Despite the strong economic headwinds across Africa currently, the Group has 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.
Mr Uzoka said about the event: “It is critical that UBA join 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.”
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.
