United Bank for Africa Plc has bagged the Chief Financial Officer of the Year, Financial Innovation Project of the Year and Finance Team of the Year at the edition of Nigeria CFO awards.
The finance team of the year was also given to the finance division of UBA for their exceptional performance in the year under review, which the organiser said resulted in the bank emerging as one of the resilient performers in the Nigerian banking industry, despite the economic downturn.
Receiving the awards, UBA’s group CFO thanked the organisers for the recognition which was coming, second time in a row, noting that he couldn’t have done it alone and that he was delighted to be working with the best finance team in the Nigerian banking industry.
He dedicated the awards to his team who he said work assiduously with the passion to always exceed expectations.
“Achieving a feat like this at a challenging period, only indicates that hard work and dedication truly pays. We are further encouraged by these awards but speaking the minds of my colleagues, this presents new challenges to us, as we will intensify our commitment towards setting benchmarks for the industry, particularly in our strategic roles beyond financial reporting and performance management,” Nwaghodoh said.
Also speaking at the awards night, the chief executive officer of Instinct Business magazine, organisers of the CFO awards, Akin Naphtal, explained that CFOs were integral to the successes of organisations as their expansive financial perspectives help fuel growth.
