The United Bank for Africa (UBA), has graduated 700 young professionals from its Graduate Management Accelerated Programme (GMAP), reaffirming its commitment to youth empowerment and leadership development across Africa.
The graduation ceremony, held at the Landmark Events Centre in Lagos, drew participants from Nigeria and other African countries where UBA operates.
UBA Group Chairman, Tony Elumelu, described the graduates as “lions and lionesses,” noting that the initiative equips Africa’s next generation of leaders with technical, managerial, and leadership skills.
Now in its third year, the GMAP has produced over 4,000 graduates through mentorship, training, and practical experience.
Representing the Group Managing Director, Oliver Alawuba, Deputy GMD Chukwuma Nweke praised the graduates’ perseverance, urging them to drive innovation and excellence within the bank’s 25,000-strong workforce.
UBA serves over 45 million customers across 20 African countries, as well as in the UK, US, France, and the UAE.
