U
BA recently celebrated 120 best
performing staff under the Bank’s
Most Valuable Performers (MVP)
programme.
The MVP decoration ceremonies took
place simultaneously at the Bank’s Head
Office in Lagos and across different
locations in Nigeria and UBA Country
Subsidiaries. The MVP programme is
designed to motivate and encourage
individual staff to go the extra mile in their
job functions as they pursue the Group’s
set goals and corporate objectives.
Group Managing Director/CEO, Mr. Phillips
Oduoza described MVPs as employees
that create extraordinary value for the
organization by consistently exceeding
expectations. He congratulated the MVPs
and urged them to wear the special
lapel pins with pride even as they enjoy
the associated privileges which include,
accelerated career development,
unrestricted access to company events,
cash reward, leadership exchange
programs, cross country postings as well
as the much-coveted UBA citizenship
membership.
“We are honouring today’s MVPs for
their exceptional performance and
in appreciation of what they have
contributed to the growth of the bank.
Out of the 120 MVPs being celebrated, 13
are repeat MVPs meaning that they were
able to retain their MVP status awarded in
previous year,” he said.
The Executive Director, Human Resources
and Customer Service, Obi Ibekwe, equally
urged every staff to aspire to be an MVP.
