    The group Chairman of the United Bank for Africa -Tony Elumelu, speaking on the facility noted, this has been one of the considerably economically demanding years that Nigeria has noticed, with the striking fall in the price of oil and the arising suffering that pursued the beginning of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and so the private sector must come together and render meaningfully to the economy.

    “This facility is clear evidence of this – UBA is providing an investment that will significantly improve Nigeria’s production capacity and in doing so also demonstrating the strength, depth, and sophistication of our commercial banking capability. I believe that together, working with governments, we can create more jobs and more wealth for people, not only in Nigeria but across Africa.”

    With operations in twenty African countries and more than 20,000 employees, and operations in the UK and US, France, providing retail, commercial and institutional banking services, the United Bank for Africa is, one of the vastest employers in the financial sector on the African continent.
