Mrs. Mang, who previously served as Managing Director of UBA Uganda, returns at a pivotal time when the bank is accelerating its expansion agenda in key sectors of the economy. Her visit underscores the UBA Group’s confidence in Uganda as a strategic growth market within its pan-African network.

Our presence here is not only about banking, but about partnerships — partnering with Government, businesses, and communities to drive sustainable growth. This visit focused on strengthening relationships and unlocking opportunities that will enable UBA Uganda to scale its impact and contribute meaningfully to the country’s economic transformation,” she said.
She added that UBA’s footprint across 20 African countries and key global financial centers in New York, London, Paris and Dubai uniquely positions the bank to facilitate intra-African trade and international investment flows for Ugandan businesses.
Mr. Kenneth Kisambira, the current MD of UBA Uganda described the visit as a strong vote of confidence from the Group and a catalyst for accelerated growth. “We are honoured to welcome Mrs. Mang back to Uganda. Her leadership at the continental level provides UBA Uganda with enhanced strategic alignment and access to broader opportunities across the Group.

He noted that the bank is focusing on strengthening its Corporate, SME portfolio, expanding digital banking services, and leveraging UBA’s pan-African advantage to facilitate trade and investment.
Mrs. Mang’s visit carries both symbolic and strategic significance, reflecting continuity in leadership and sustained commitment to the Ugandan market.
