Monrovia — United Bank for Africa (UBA) has reaffirmed its commitment to Liberia’s financial sector as its newly appointed Group Chief Executive Officer for Africa 1, Madam Chioma Mang, paid a courtesy visit to the country as part of a continent-wide strategic engagement tour.
The visit follows Mang’s recent appointment and underscores UBA Group’s efforts to deepen relationships across its African markets while advancing its Pan-African growth and inclusion strategy. Liberia is one of several key stops on Mang’s Africa Tour, which also includes Ghana, Sierra Leone, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Mozambique.
According to UBA Liberia, the tour is designed to allow the UBA Africa 1 CEO to engage directly with customers, regulators, and national stakeholders, while gathering firsthand insights on how the bank can strengthen sustainable financial growth and economic development across the continent.
During her stay in Liberia, Mang held interactive sessions with customers and regulatory authorities, emphasizing UBA’s focus on strong partnerships, regulatory cooperation, and customer-centric banking solutions. The engagements also provided a platform to assess market dynamics, understand evolving customer needs, and identify opportunities for expanding UBA’s contribution to Liberia’s financial system.
The visit carried personal significance for Mang, who previously served as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of UBA Liberia from 2011 to 2016. Addressing stakeholders, she described the trip as a homecoming and expressed appreciation for Liberia’s warmth and hospitality.
“Returning to Liberia after nine years is deeply meaningful,” Mang said, reflecting on the strong professional relationships she built during her tenure and reaffirming her enduring connection to the Liberian market.
In a separate engagement with staff, Mang urged employees to continue serving customers with dignity, respect, and professionalism, stressing that exceptional service remains central to UBA’s brand identity. She encouraged the team to maintain a strong customer-first culture, positioning UBA as a trusted institution known for service excellence and integrity.
UBA, one of Africa’s largest financial institutions, said it remains committed to leveraging its Pan-African footprint to empower businesses, expand financial inclusion, and support national development priorities across the continent, with Liberia continuing to play a strategic role in the Group’s regional operations.
The bank said Mang’s visit reflects its long-term confidence in Liberia’s financial sector and its resolve to remain a key partner in the country’s economic transformation.
