UBA, Fidelity Bank honoured in Lagos

Leading financial institutions, United Bank for Africa Plc and Fidelity Bank Plc, on Sunday, were honoured at the Business Hallmark Newspaper Awards, held at the Civic Centre, in Lagos.

While Fidelity Bank was adjudged the Best Bank in SME Support on account of its longstanding support for MSMES, UBA won double honours as it emerged the Bank of the year 2019; while its Group Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Kennedy Uzoka, also emerged CEO of the year.

The Organiser of the awards and the Chief Executive Officer of Business Hallmark, Emeka Obasi, who spoke at the event, explained that the best CEO award is borne out of the need to recognise achievements of financial executives who have been outstanding in their profession and have contributed in no small measure to the growth of their organisations and the economy at large
