The United Bank for Africa (UBA) Ghana joined Ghana and the entire African continent to celebrate this year’s Africa Day with pomp and pageantry at all the bank’s branches across the length and breadth of the country.

Africa Day is a day designated specifically to the celebration of African diversity and success. It is an opportunity to acknowledge the progress that African countries have made, while reflecting on the challenges faced in a global environment.
The objective of this celebration is to: Celebrate the achievements of African people and businesses that have brought pride to the continent, globally; inspire Africans globally to strive daily for distinction through ethics and diligence.
It is with great excitement that we are celebrating this year’s Africa Day, some staff of UBA Ghana told the media at their headquarters in Accra.
UBA as Africa’s global bank also acknowledges this day all around its Africa Subsidiaries in a very distinct way: Visibility, where African decorations are showcased across all UBA Africa regional offices Employee engagement where a colorful African dress code is observed to be worn throughout the day, along with other civic duties towards a good cause, according to a statement issued by the bank.
As part of the AU Day celebration, UBA through the UBA Foundation supported the Broll Ghana Ltd initiative “Support a Right Cause and Make Life Worth Living for Someone” dubbed “GOODIES IN A BARREL CAMPAIGN”.
Broll Ghana Ltd, property managers of UBA at its plush headquarters (Heritage Towers) in Accra celebrated its 10 years of corporate services.
The Foundation, through the “Read Africa Initiative” donated 100 copies of a literature book entitled: “What Sunny Saw in the Flames”written by legendary Nigerian author, Nnedi Okorafor to the Broll Ghana initiative.
Presenting the books, Mrs. Abiola Bawuah, the Managing Director/Chief Executive Office of UBA Ghana said: “Our children are being drawn into a fast paced adult reality world via social media and are not able to grow up as children with their full imaginations being explored. These books we hope will bring our children back into their real childhood and we at UBA are determined to do this one child at a time”
Receiving the books, Kofi Ampong – MD Broll Ghana Ltd said :“UBA has been a Heritage Towers client since inception 12 years ago and we are both pleased and proud to receive this goodwill donation as we soldier on to provide leading property management services for the Ghanaian Corporate industry, and with this, we thank UBA and look forward to more good collaboration”.
