adsDemonstrating its expanding footprint in Nigeria’s tertiary education sector, the United Bank for Africa (UBA) has unveiled an ultramodern branch at the University of Lagos (UNILAG), as its customer base within the university community climbs beyond 80,000.
Oliver Alawuba, group managing director, UBA, speaking at the commissioning ceremony on Monday, said the landmark project speaks for the partnership, legacy, education, and shared beliefs between the bank and UNILAG.
“It is a renewal of our relationship with UNILAG, which we’ve entered for decades now. We were the first bank to open a branch in any university, and it had to be the University of Lagos; and today, that branch has over 80,000 customers.
“That represents the shared trust, and the friendship that we have. e believe UBA branch is the right investment, because we are investing in African students,” he said.
Alawuba emphasised that the bank believes in the future of Africa, and that it is through education, and African youth that answers to the calls of the local responsibility can be met.adsads
