UBA’s Deputy Managing Director, Mr. Liadi Ayoku, who received the awards on behalf of the bank, was full of appreciation while promising to consistently match the Bank’s core vision and mission with excellent service delivery across board.

He said, “These awards mark another milestone for UBA Group and is a testament of the diligent execution of the bank’s strategic initiatives on customer service.

For one, the lender registered impressive top- and bottom-line growth over the review period.”
