United Bank for Africa Uganda is set for renewed momentum as Chioma A. Mang, UBA’s CEO for Africa, visits Uganda in a strategic move aimed at deepening business engagement and unlocking new growth opportunities for UBA Uganda.
Mang, who previously served as Managing Director of UBA Uganda, returns at a pivotal time when the bank is accelerating its expansion agenda in key sectors of the economy. Her visit underscores the UBA Group’s confidence in Uganda as a strategic growth market within its pan-African network.
During her visit, Mang engaged stakeholders, customers and strategic partners to explore opportunities in infrastructure financing, trade, agricultural facilitation, SME development, digital banking and cross-border banking.
Speaking about her visit, Mang emphasised that “Uganda remains one of the most promising markets in East Africa. Our presence here is not only about banking but also 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 added that UBA’s footprint across 20 African countries and key global financial centres in New York, London, Paris and Dubai uniquely positions the bank to facilitate intra-African trade and international investment flows for Ugandan businesses.
Kenneth Kisambira, the current Managing Director of UBA Uganda, described the visit as a strong vote of confidence from the Group and a catalyst for accelerated growth. “We are honoured to welcome 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.”
He noted that the bank is focusing on strengthening its corporate and SME portfolio, expanding digital banking services and leveraging UBA’s pan-African advantage to facilitate trade and investment.
Mang’s visit carries both symbolic and strategic significance, reflecting continuity in leadership and sustained commitment to the Ugandan market. Having previously led UBA Uganda, she brings deep institutional knowledge and a renewed continental perspective to the bank’s ambitions in the country.
As Uganda continues to pursue industrialisation, infrastructure development and regional trade integration, UBA Uganda is positioning itself as a key financial partner in unlocking capital, enabling enterprise growth and connecting Ugandan businesses to opportunities across Africa.
