UBA Ghana joined the rest of the continent in commemorating African Union (AU) Day 2025 with a spirited celebration that honoured Africa’s cultural identity, unity, and heritage.
Held under the bank’s network theme, “Africa by Africans: Partnering for Progress,” the celebration took place across all UBA branches and offices nationwide.
It brought employees together in a colourful expression of African pride through traditional fashion, food, and storytelling that highlighted the continent’s deep-rooted diversity.
From Accra to Tamale, and from Kumasi to Takoradi, staff proudly showcased vibrant African attire representing various ethnicities and cultures.
A highlight of the event was the Best Dressed competition, which recognized outstanding male and female participants at both Accra and outstation locations. The showcase turned workplaces into cultural arenas of colour and creativity.
Adding to the festive spirit, local treats were served at all UBA business offices, evoking a sense of warmth and nostalgia reflective of Africa’s culinary richness. The entire event was a tribute to the beauty of African heritage and the power of unity.
Speaking on the occasion, Henry Nii Dottey, Regional Head, MCC West Africa/Anglophone, and Head of Marketing & Corporate Communications, UBA Ghana said:
“Africa Day is not just a date on the calendar—it’s a celebration of our shared heritage and the limitless potential of our continent. At UBA, we take pride in embracing our roots while working toward Africa’s future. Today, we honour that spirit of unity and progress.”
Reinforcing the theme of “Partnering for Progress,” UBA Ghana also spotlighted its Pan-African money transfer solution — AfriCash.
This innovative service allows customers to send and receive money through UBA’s extensive network of over 1,000 branches across Africa.
AfriCash is designed to power informal and formal trade activities across the continent, promoting economic collaboration and financial inclusion.
This annual celebration underscores UBA’s long-standing commitment to Pan-Africanism and its belief in Africa’s immense potential.
With a presence in 20 African countries, UBA continues to champion financial empowerment, intra-African trade, and cultural pride across the continent.
