10
YEARS AND COUNTING...
BY NONSO NDUANYA
One decade already? The way time flies! 2009 feels like just a few years ago
but it’s been a while and quite
a lot has happened since then. UBA’s expansion drive got a huge boost between 2008 and 2009 with more than 50% of the subsidiaries being launched in that period.
10 years down the line, UBA’s Africa footprint has grown bigger, gotten deeper, and has been firm- ly stamped on the sands of time across the continent. The bank’s passion for building an ‘Africa for the future’ has been the driver
of its activities during this period. UBA has contributed in no small measure to the economic devel- opment of the continent through big-ticket financing of key devel- opment projects, the introduc- tion of innovative products and services that engender greater fi- nancial inclusion and its corporate social responsibility projects across all its countries of operation.
We take a closer look at some of the countries where we’ve been for 10 years and how UBA is im- pacting lives in those countries.
“
We are using the bank as a catalyst to support a lot of businesses to actualise their dreams across Africa.”
