Together, we have achieved remarkable milestones, and we look forward to an even brighter future; I, therefore, encourage each of you: when you go home, touch your neighbour’s life. By spreading kindness and light,” he stated.
Customers and employees of UBA attended the lighting ceremony in large numbers, and the choir from the UBA Customer Fulfilment Centre delighted them with Christmas carols.
