United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc has relaunched the UBA Alumni Network Programme, aimed at fostering stronger connections and providing exclusive benefits, including loan restructuring, to its former employees.
Improving upon the services it promised when it was first launched two years ago, the revamped UBA Alumni Network will now offer a wide array of advantages designed to empower and engage ex-staff members throughout their journeys.
UBA’s Group Managing Director, Oliver Alawuba, who welcomed the ex-staff during the UBA Alumni relaunch in UBA House on Friday, expressed the bank’s commitment to reposition the alumni to do more to ensure that ex-staff remain comfortable ambassadors of the brand.
He said: “I understand that this very key network was launched in 2021, and we have come here today to assure all the members of our alumni that UBA, which is over 75 years old, will continue to play the role of becoming a beacon of hope to our ex-staff.
“As a bank that is interested in the welfare of both staff and ex-staff, we are going to roll out products that are specifically tailored to suit the needs of all our alumni.”
At the event, which saw a lot of former staff attended both physically and virtually, UBA’s Deputy Managing Director, Muyiwa Akinyemi, noted that “the bank is where it is today because of the sacrifices made by its ex-staff several years ago”, adding that this is the driving force behind the bank’s desire to support them.
He explained that with 35 million customers and over 25,000 staff, the bank remains committed to fostering a vibrant alumni community, adding that “we will continue to rely on this all-important network to help us to know how to serve you better, in the four continents and 24 countries that UBA currently operates in.”
