The Group Chief Executive Officer of United Bank for Africa (UBA), Chioma A. Mang, has visited UBA Uganda in a move aimed at strengthening business engagement and unlocking new growth opportunities in the Ugandan market.
Mang, who previously served as Managing Director of UBA Uganda, returned at a time when the subsidiary is accelerating its expansion strategy across key sectors of the economy.
According to the bank, the visit underscores the UBA Group’s confidence in Uganda as a strategic growth market within its pan-African network.
During her engagements, Mang met with stakeholders, customers, and strategic partners to explore opportunities in infrastructure financing, trade facilitation, agriculture value chains, SME development, digital banking, and cross-border financial services.
“Uganda remains one of the most promising markets in East Africa. Our presence here is not only about banking, but about partnerships — partnering with government, businesses, and communities to drive sustainable growth. This visit focused on strengthening relationships and unlocking opportunities that will enable UBA Uganda to scale its impact and contribute meaningfully to the country’s economic transformation,” she said.
She noted that UBA’s footprint across 20 African countries, as well as global financial centres in New York, London, Paris and Dubai, positions the bank to facilitate intra-African trade and international investment flows for Ugandan businesses.
UBA Uganda Managing Director, Kenneth Kisambira, described the visit as a strong vote of confidence from the Group and a catalyst for accelerated growth.
“We are honoured to welcome Mrs. Mang back to Uganda. Her leadership at the continental level provides UBA Uganda with enhanced strategic alignment and access to broader opportunities across the Group. This visit reinforces our commitment to supporting Uganda’s development agenda and delivering innovative financial solutions that empower businesses to grow,” Kisambira said.
He added that the bank is prioritising growth in its corporate and SME portfolio, expanding digital banking services, and leveraging UBA’s pan-African network to facilitate trade and investment.
Mang’s visit carries both symbolic and strategic significance, reflecting leadership continuity and sustained commitment to the Ugandan market. With prior experience leading UBA Uganda, she brings institutional knowledge alongside a broader continental perspective to the bank’s ambitions in the country.
As Uganda advances its industrialisation, infrastructure development and regional trade integration agenda, UBA Uganda is positioning itself as a key financial partner in mobilising capital, enabling enterprise growth and connecting local businesses to opportunities across Africa.
