Tony Elumelu, Chairman of the UBA Group, is set to deliver the keynote address at the opening ceremony of the 4th edition of the ECOWAS Mining and Petroleum Forum (ECOMOF 2024). The event, scheduled to occur at the Palais des Congrès in Cotonou, Benin from February 22 to February 24, 2024, will be sponsored by United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc, known as Africa’s Global Bank.
With UBA’s presence in 20 African countries and active involvement in major continental development projects, the bank’s sponsorship underscores its commitment to the growth of the mining and petroleum industry not only in the sub-region but throughout Africa’s economic development.
Elumelu, who also serves as Chairman of Transcorp Group with extensive interests in energy and power, will speak on the theme: “Geo-extractive Resources and Technologies: What Pooling Strategies for Value Creation in West Africa.” His address is expected to highlight UBA’s increasing efforts to support and develop the African continent through strategic investments in key sectors such as mining and petroleum.
