The Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN) has certified and awarded UBA Academy the certificate of accreditation in line with the Central Bank of Nigeria’s competency framework for the banking industry.
The award was presented at a ceremony presided over by the President/Chairman of Council of the institute Uche Olowu in Lagos on Thursday.
Mr Olowu said the UBA Academy was conferred with the new status having met the rigorous standards set for the delivery of their suites of programmes by the Institute.
“This Accreditation is an affirmation that UBA Academy has adopted and complied with the minimum assessment standards for programmes run by the organisation, which have gained a label of recognition and distinction,” Olowu said.
UBA Academy is the dedicated learning and development centre of the Pan African financial institution, United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc.
The bank’s group head of human resources Patricia Aderibigbe while appreciating the recognition said that the academy had embarked on training for the future with digitisation of its training programmes and modules.
“With Ignite, UBA has taken training into the future as we believe that the only way to get the best results and continually stay ahead of the curve is to continually sharpen our most important asset – our people, using mobile technology,” Mrs Aderibigbe said.
