United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc’s Regional CEO for West Africa Mrs Abiola Bawuah, has been named “Most Outstanding Female in Banking” by ‘Business Executive’ at the just concluded 4th Feminine Ghana Achievement Awards at the La-Palm Royal Beach Hotel, Accra, bringing to eight the number of awards she has received in recent times.
Mrs. Bawuah expressed appreciation over the award and was full of praise for her team, which according to her, has put in a lot of hard work in the past two years, thus bringing the brand and its leadership great recognition and good appeal.
She said, “We have been awarded in several categories and from several organisations and personally, this makes it eight since April last year. All that we have collectively worked towards over the past few years is to consolidate our brand appeal and positioning on the market.
It is opportune to say that we have crafted products in the digital banking space that addresses the everyday challenges of the corporate and individual customer. Very soon, we will be outdooring our Mobile Banking App which is competitive and perhaps superior.”
The Feminine Ghana Achievement Awards identifies exemplary conduct, performance and achievement by women in specified sectors of public governance, professional and business activities or in their contributions to the well-being of society.
Mrs. Bawuah, who was the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of UBA Ghana since 2014 was recently elevated as the bank’s Regional CEO for West Africa is presently the Regional CEO for six West African countries overseeing businesses in Ghana, Benin Republic, Burkina Faso, Cote D’Ivoire, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
The Feminine Awards scheme is also aimed at identifying and publicising role models whose accomplishments encourage and inspire women in general across the country.
