event. The delegation will also include Group Head of
Correspondent Banking Sola Yomi-Ajayi and Head of Embassies and
Development Organisations( EMDOs), Dupe K. Olusola, responsible for

forum for UBA to build engagement with international institutions. Despite
the strong economic headwinds across Africa currently, the Group has committed
to increasing its pan-African footprint. Its strengths in corporate banking,
payment technology, trade finance, and its millions-strong customer base make
UBA a natural partner for global businesses focused on the African opportunity.

Uzoka said about the event: “It is critical that UBA join world
business and political leaders to discuss issues central to the progress of our
world, and with specific relevance to the continent of Africa. UBA is the
natural partner for those seeking access to Africa’s business opportunities –
we look forward to engaging with the world’s business community – to show that
Africa is open to business and that UBA is ready to partner.”
