In a bid to address the critical need for infrastructure development across the continent, the Executive Director and CEO, UBA Africa, Mrs. Abiola Bawuah, has emphasised the importance of securing funding and forging strategic partnerships.
While acknowledging the pivotal role that infrastructure plays in driving economic growth and enhancing livelihoods on the continent, she underscored the urgency for concerted efforts to address the continent’s infrastructure deficit.
Speaking in a panel discussion on infrastructure development in Africa, during the launch of the 2025 Africa Prosperity Dialogue, Bawuah highlighted the presence of regional, commercial, and development banks in Africa which, according to her, could offer the needed support for infrastructure financing to propel growth in Africa.
She stressed the importance of collaboration among all financial stakeholders towards pooling funds for Africa’s development, just as she took time to highlight UBA’s contribution to infrastructure development over the years in Africa.
