Emmanuel N. Nnorom To Become UBA Group next Chairman As Elumelu Retires

Good people, please join me in congratulating one of Ovim's distinguished sons, Mr. Emmanuel N. Nnorom, on his appointment as the next Chairman of UBA Group.

Emmanuel is one of Africa's most accomplished banking professionals, with decades of leadership experience across the financial services industry. I have no doubt that he will build on UBA's remarkable legacy, strengthen its pan-African franchise, and create enduring value for shareholders, customers, employees, and all stakeholders.

This leadership transition follows the announcement by United Bank for Africa Plc that Mr. Tony O. Elumelu, Group Chairman, will retire from the Board on 21 August 2026, having completed the 12-year tenure limit prescribed for Non-Executive Directors of banks by the Central Bank of Nigeria.

At its meeting on 6 July 2026, the Board accepted Mr. Elumelu's retirement and unanimously elected Mr. Emmanuel N. Nnorom, currently a Non-Executive Director of the Bank, as his successor, with effect from 21 August 2026.

Congratulations, Chairman ENN, on this well-deserved appointment. We celebrate this important milestone and wish you wisdom, strength, and continued success as you lead one of Africa's most respected financial institutions into its next chapter. We also commend Chairman Tony Elumelu for his exceptional leadership and transformational contributions to UBA and the African banking industry.
