Speaking at the ceremony, Alawuba announced that UBA’s worldwide growth strategy would take a major stride with the creation of new African subsidiaries in addition to its Saudi expansion.
With more than 25,000 employees and more than 45 million clients in 24 countries, he said UBA is dedicated to becoming a sustainable and forward-thinking organisation, Premium Times reported.
“Our chairman was in Saudi Arabia recently and announced that UBA will establish its presence there next year. We will also launch additional African subsidiaries, ensuring that the bank grows from strength to strength,” Mr Alawuba said.
The CEO thanked the retirees for their contributions to UBA’s expansion over the years and credited the bank’s success to a team effort.
“The UBA that has over 25,000 staff and serves more than 45 million customers across 24 countries is the legacy you have contributed to. That is the UBA that will continue to thrive for generations,” he added.
UBA’s chairperson, Tony Elumelu, also attended the occasion and praised the retirees for their steadfast commitment, which he said played a key role in the bank’s achievements.
“At UBA, we are more than just a bank; we are a family. These individuals have been selfless, ultra-dedicated, and instrumental to the success we have achieved in Nigeria, Africa, and globally. We owe a debt of gratitude to their families for the support they provided,” Mr Elumelu said.
