This donation by the UBA Group supports the AU’s efforts to promote security, conflict resolution, sustainable development, and a unified Africa, as envisioned in the AU’s Africa Agenda 2063.

Commenting, the Executive Management Committee AU Peace Fund Chairman, Moussa Faki Mahamat, stated that “peace is synonymous with resources. If we want development and stability, we must achieve peace; the United Bank for Africa has demonstrated its commitment to the development of our continent by this commitment, through sustainable resources. Together, we will continue to build a continent for the future.

UBA’s group chairman, Tony Elumelu, who announced the donation in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, highlighted the reasons behind the UBA Group’s support for the AU.

According to him, the role of corporate institutions in shaping Africa’s future cannot be overemphasised. He added that by investing in peace and security, UBA is contributing to an environment where businesses, communities, and nations can thrive, driving sustainable development and economic prosperity for all.
