On Saturday, the investiture and swearing-in ceremony of George Elombi as the fourth president of Afreximbank will take place in Cairo, Egypt.
A day before the investiture, high-level guests will gather to honour the legacy of outgoing President Benedict Oramah through a curated series of thematic events proceeding under the theme - "A decade to build the pillars of future prosperity."
A week ago, while welcoming Oramah, Elombi and other dignitaries to the launch of United Bank for Africa's whitepaper: "Banking on Africa's Future: Unlocking Capital and Partnerships for Sustainable Growth," on the sidelines of the IMF/World Bank Annual Meetings, Tony Elumelu, chairman of UBA, made a telling comment reflecting the esteem in which the institution is held.
