UBA celebrates Africa Day with cultural diversity

Fashioning Unity, dressed in vibrant colours of Ghanaian cultural heritage

UBA Ghana has commem­orated this year’s Africa Union (AU) Day with a vibrant ceremony held at its head office and other Business Offices across the country.

The activity falls in line with the 20th anniversary of the Bank in Ghana and 75th anniversary of the UBA Group, while leveraging on the Africa Day to celebrate the conti­nent’s unity in diversity and highlight its rich cultural and economic potential.

Staff members showcased the rich cultural heritage of Africa by dressing in various indigenous attire, representing different tribes, ethnic groups and countries.

Speaking at the event, Head of Marketing and Corporate Communications at UBA Ghana, Henry Nii Dottey, emphasised, “as a premium Pan-African bank driven by multicultural diversity, UBA aims to put Afri­ca on the world map as a key player in finance. We celebrate Africa Day to promote unity, mutual respect, and pride in who we are as a people and a Pan-African organisation with a global reach.”

He reiterated the bank’s commitment to boosting trade in Africa through its innova­tive products and services, including AfriTrade, a robust self-developed platform for export proceeds collection and import bills payments across the sub-region.

This year’s celebrations featured a range of excit­ing activities, including a continent-wide competition – the Africa Day Best Dressed Competition – open to all staff members, with prizes of up to $12,000 to be won across the network.

To engage customers, the bank hosted an interactive ac­tivity called “Spin the Wheel,” offering education on African history, food, tourist sites, culture, and the chance to win exciting prizes.

Customers of the Bank were also treated to some local drinks and snacks as part of the celebrations.
