United Bank For Africa - Social Responsibility

Social Responsibility

UBA Foundation

As one of West Africa's largest and most profitable banks, there is a need for a social contract between the bank, the community and its people. United Bank for Africa became the first bank in Nigeria to institute a foundation, UBA Foundation. Funded with 1% of PBT, UBA Foundation is committed to the socio-economic betterment of the communities in which the bank operates, focusing on development in the areas of Environment, Education, Economic Empowerment and Special projects ("EEES"). More specifically:

1. Environment (beautification, waste-management systems, etc.);
2. Education (the provision of tertiary scholarships, learning interventions and events, etc.);
3. Economic Empowerment (providing facilities and amenities, employing street people to assist with cleaning and gardening services, enabling micro-credit schemes to budding traders);
4. Special Projects (various community development initiatives and infrastructure projects). UBA Foundation has been recognized with a number of awards such as the SIAO, Emerging Top in Corporate Social Responsibility(CSR) Award.
