Congratulating the newly appointed Directors, the Group Chairman, Tony Elumelu, said, ” These appointments will greatly assist in the plans we have to transform the UBA Group into a truly customer led bank and the foremost financial institution in Africa”.

Mr Uzoka said today, “I am extremely optimistic about the future of the Bank, these appointments show the strength of the talent available within UBA and demonstrate our commitment to institutionalisation. We could not have put together a better executive leadership team.”

Board Chairman, Tony Elumelu, also commended outgoing directors saying, “I take this opportunity to inform you that two of our Executive Directors, Femi Olaloku and Obi Ibekwe will be retiring from the Board effective June 30 and May 31, 2016 respectively. I would like to thank them for the enormous contributions they have made during their time of service”.

In April this year, UBA held an intensive three-day strategy session which brought together the Group Board , subsidiary CEOs and board chairs to set a path for the Pan Africa Bank’s future.
