United Bank for Africa (UBA) on Thursday said it will donate five billion naira towards Africa’s response against the coronavirus pandemic.
The pan-continental financial institution will make the donations through its nonprofit arm, UBA Foundation.
This is a time when we must all play our part,” Tony Elumelu, UBA Group Chairman, said. “This global pandemic must bring citizens, governments and business leaders together – and quickly.
“As we see a rapidly increasing number of cases of the coronavirus in Nigeria and Africa, the private sector has to work hand in hand with various Governments, in stemming the spread of the global pandemic.”
