Why UBA Group Will Continue Investing In Human Capital – Tony Elumelu
The chairman of Africa’s Global bank, United Bank for Africa, Tony Elumelu has reaffirmed the financial institution’s commitment to investing in human capital.
Mr Elumelu commented following the induction ceremony of the ninth cohort of the UBA Group Graduate Management Acceleration Programme (GMAP).
The GMAP initiative, designed to equip entrants with the necessary skills and knowledge, has over the years provided mentorship, training, and hands-on experience to young graduates for leadership roles in UBA.
With 1,138 graduates of GMAP absorbed by the bank, the event was held on Wednesday, March 5, 2025 at the Landmark Event Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos.
“At UBA Group, we will continue to invest in human capital, because we know that when our people succeed, our continent thrives,” disclosed via a social post on Thursday, March 6, 2025.
He further remarked that the 2025 GMAP was another milestone in UBA’s commitment to developing Africa’s next generation of leaders.
With graduands of this year’s cohort programme spanning across countries with UBA Group presence, Elumelu said UBA is not just about building a banking brand, but also emplacing “an institution that nurtures talent, fosters ambition, and provides the platform for the best and brightest to rise.”
Reputed as only licensed deposit-taking African bank in the United States, UBA Group operates in 20 African countries, London, Paris, and Dubai.
