UBA’s Commitment to Strengthening Lagos Security

UBA Foundation, its corporate social responsibility arm, has donated N500 million to the Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF) as part of its commitment to ensuring a secure environment for individuals and businesses.

. This generous donation is expected to significantly enhance the security infrastructure in Lagos, fostering a safer environment for residents and businesses alike. Improved security measures can lead to increased economic activity as businesses feel more confident to invest and expand in the region. Additionally, a secure environment contributes to the overall well-being of the community, reducing crime rates and enhancing the quality of life for all citizens.

Elumelu stated that “At UBA, we understand that security is crucial for economic growth and societal well-being” during the presentation. Our donation to the Lagos State Security Trust Fund is a reflection of the bank’s belief in building safer communities to enhance the quality of life for all. In partnership with the Lagos State Government, we are committed to creating a safe and secure environment for investment and development in Lagos.”

While receiving the N500m cheque, the Lagos State Governor expressed appreciation to the UBA Group and UBA Foundation for the significant contribution and commended Mr. Tony Elumelu for its unwavering commitment to impactful projects and the state’s progress and well-being.

He said, “We are grateful to the UBA Group for their significant contribution to the Lagos State Security Trust Fund. This donation will strengthen our efforts to enhance security and protect our citizens. Together we are building a safer Lagos for all.”
