Students in senior secondary schools across the country have been
invited to submit entries in the 2014 UBA Foundation National Essay
Competition.
UBA Foundation is the corporate social responsibility and
sustainability initiatives arm of United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc and uses
this annual competition to challenge the reading, research, writing and
critical thinking skills of Nigerian students.
The UBA Foundation National Essay Competition, which is in its fourth
consecutive year, has witnessed increased participation from students since it
was first launched in 2011. Going by the success recorded in Nigeria, UBA is
taking the competition to other parts of Africa.
Similar essay competitions, according the MD/CEO UBA Foundation, Ms
Ijeoma Aso, are going on simultaneously in Senegal and Ghana as “part of UBA’s
efforts to continue to intellectually challenge African youths to improve their
capacity to compete in an increasingly global world.”
As the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) arm of the UBA Group, UBA
Foundation is committed to the socio-economic betterment of the communities in
which the bank operates, focusing on development in the areas of environment,
education, economic empowerment and special projects.
