United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc lit up the atmosphere of the Lagos Marina on Monday, with thousands of bright, colourful lights and serenading carols to ring in this year’s yuletide season.

The beautifully organised ceremony had in attendance the bank’s Group Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Oliver Alawuba, the Deputy Managing Directors, as well as other top executives of the Bank and some customers.

The event was replicated in all the 24 countries where UBA has a presence.

Alawuba, who gave his speech following joyous renditions by the UBA CFC Choir and the Lagos Community Gospel Choir, welcomed customers and staff to the event as he emphasised the importance of the Light-up ceremony as a symbol of hope for the coming year. 

While stating that the bank’s lighting up of the Marina extends beyond mere singing and decoration, he noted the significance of the season, adding that, “We are light unto the world, creating an environment of light, of hope, of joy, an environment of love and sharing. For us, today officially marks the commencement of the Christmas season – a season of love, hope, and of joy.”
