Children’s Day: UBA Restates Commitment to Nurturing Young Leaders

Africa’s Global Bank, United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc, joined the rest of the world to commemorate the 2024 Children’s Day, by hosting a fun-filled event at the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos, on Monday for the children.

UBA partnered with U-Ideals Limited to organise the event, which provided the kids a platform to interact with other students while educating them on the importance of focusing on their studies to contribute their own quota to economic development.  

Speaking ahead of the event, UBA’s Group Head, Retail Products and Sales, Prince Ayewoh, stated that since children are the leaders of tomorrow, UBA as an institution, takes the children and youth seriously. 

“On Children’s Day, we recognise the importance of allowing children embrace their inner-self and God-given talents and potential, as experiences such as these are needed to shape their personal growth and lay the foundation for a fulfilling and meaningful life. It also emphasises the bank’s unwavering promise to securing the future of children by building a tomorrow that is truly bright.

On her part, Group Head of Marketing and Corporate Communications, Alero Ladipo, emphasised the value of allowing children explore, play and engage in imaginative, creative activities. 

“By combining learning with enjoyable experiences, we can nurture well-rounded individuals who excel academically while developing a zest for life and discovery. This for us, remains the reason why we partner and sponsor activities such as this,” she stated.

She also explained that the event reflects UBA’s broader mission of uplifting lives and communities across Africa by establishing dynamic educational platforms for future generations of leaders.
