UBA Chief Executive Pledges Enhanced Support for Benin’s Economic Development
Oliver Alawuba, Group Managing Director and CEO of United Bank for Africa (UBA), has renewed the bank’s pledge to strengthen economic development in the Republic of Benin through strategic backing of key infrastructure and transformational projects.
During a strategic one-day visit to Benin on January 28, 2026, Alawuba emphasized UBA’s role as a committed partner in the country’s economic advancement. The visit included high-level discussions with government officials, major corporate clients, and the bank’s local operations team.
In a meeting with Romuald Wadagni, Benin’s Senior Minister of Finance, Economy, and Cooperation, Alawuba outlined UBA’s current and planned support for the nation’s development agenda.
“We view ourselves as committed stakeholders in Benin, acting as a catalyst to help transform the country’s strategic development vision into concrete, financially viable outcomes,” Alawuba stated.
He also thanked the government for its continued partnership, particularly recognizing the land allocation provided to UBA Benin as compensation for its previous main branch, which was acquired for public infrastructure purposes.
The visit highlighted UBA’s comprehensive strategy of engaging with both public and private sector stakeholders to drive sustainable economic growth in Benin.
