The Lion King | 1
Editor’s Letter
Dear Lions and Lionesses
As a customer-centric financial
institution, we are repositioning
and realigning our products
and services to meet customer
and industry needs. The market
potential in the continent is
enormous and indeed a gold
mine waiting to be explored
through Consumer Banking.
We have therefore chosen this
as our theme for the Lion King
Magazine as we cruise into the
last half of the year. Ilesanmi
Phillips Owoeye, Director,
Consumer Banking Group is our
guest on ‘Ask the Executive’. His
insight on consumer banking in
UBA is a delightful read.
Moving away from Ghana in
our last edition, our ‘Country in
Focus’ is a country often referred
to as “Africa in miniature” for its
geological and cultural diversity.
Football icon, Roger Milla’s
Cameroon is enthralling.
Find out what is captivating
about this country that is also
known as Republique du
Cameroun as you read through
this edition of our magazine
including Georges Wega’s take
on the young, but vibrant
UBA Cameroon, which clocked
5, recently.
It has been an eventful quarter
in UBA. Do not miss all the
highlights of remarkable events
and happenings in UBA on the
‘News Round Up’.
This is another bumper edition.
Happy reading!
