UBA celebrates Africa Day in style and dedicates itself to equipping young leaders

With great enthusiasm, Africa’s Global Bank, the United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc, observed Africa Day this year. The bank’s 20 African branches, including those in New York, the UK, France, and Dubai, celebrated the event. It culminated in a little carnival at the corporate head office in Marina, Lagos, highlighting the rich culture of African people.

The bank said the event sought to inspire Africans, both at home and abroad, to be patriotic and appreciate their culture.

A Dynamic Celebration of African Culture

From the building’s entry to its doorways, through to the Tony Elumelu Amphitheatre Hall, the company of dancers representing Nigeria, Ghana, Zambia, Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal, and Zimbabwe thrilled the audience in all color and glamor. Their performances radiated positive energy, earning them an ovation from all.

Understanding that Africa is the world’s second-largest continent with a rich cultural legacy, the bank emphasized that the continent is still the only one left bequeathed with the most vibrant and uniquely varied culture valued worldwide. Africa, with its visual artworks, ethnic clothing, expressive dances, variety of languages, great cuisine, tourist attractions, and animals, is considered a world force that remains largely unexplored.

Promoting unity and learning

UBA held the event in Lagos to honor this year’s Africa Day and boldly and strongly showcase Africa’s cultural legacy. Part of its goal was for dignitaries to find long-term solutions to ongoing problems on the continent. The event, titled “Educate an African Fit for the 21st Century: Building Resilient Education Systems for Increased Access to Inclusive, Lifelong, Quality, and Relevant Learning in Africa,” strengthened UBA’s conviction and love of learning, as best shown in their National Essay Competition, in which winners receive scholarships.

Giving Africa’s young people more authority

Oliver Alawuba, Group Managing Director of United Bank for Africa, says, “We are in four countries outside of Africa and twenty African countries.” “Our emphasis has always been on not only increasing investments in Africa but also empowering its youth by sharpening their critical thinking abilities and preparing them for leadership positions all throughout the continent.”

Alawuba emphasized the importance of unity in Africa’s development. “The future of Africa depends critically on unity, which is rather vital.” “To fulfill our dreams, we must stay together; the young people are vital for that development,” he stated.

Dedication to Africa’s Growth

UBA is one of Africa’s major financial services companies, with a pan-African network covering 20 African countries and a global presence in the US, UK, UAE, and France. It is totally committed to uniting Africa and empowering young people for the future. The bank is still in charge of leading the story on Africa’s development, expansion, and unification.
