The recent UBA Africa Day event had in attendance Abdoul-Aziz Dia –
a group Board Director at UBA, who is Senegalese by birth with strong Fulani
ancestry. His wife is Guinean, and their three children were born in Kenya,
Ghana and Senegal respectively. At the event, Mr Dia discussed the issues he
often experiences while travelling on the continent—from immigration challenges

This sentiment is shared by many entrepreneurs and
organisations who trade across country borders in Africa and formed the basis
of the Chairman, United Bank for Africa, Mr. Tony Elumelu’s discussion during
the Presidential panel of the AfCFTA Business Forum at the 32nd Ordinary Summit
of the African Union (AU) held in Niamey, Niger.

The African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA)
will create a single continental market for goods and services, with free
movement of business persons and investments, thus accelerating intra-African
trade. The
AfCFTA offers immense opportunities to African SMEs and corporations, whose
products and services will be exposed to a market of 1.2 billion people and a
continental GDP of $2.19 trillion.

With the implementation of this agreement in view, it is
important that corporations and SMEs take practical steps to seize these
opportunities that the AfCFTA will provide.

For larger corporations, this is might be easy, but for
SMEs these opportunities are limited by access to finance, market and
infrastructure. This is why UBA has partnered with the Tony Elumelu Foundation
to offer the UBA Marketplace at the 2019 edition of the Foundation’s
Entrepreneurship Forum which will take place at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in
Abuja from Friday, July 26th to Saturday, July 27th,

PLEASE READ!!Hello Guys!!! I am Caro I live in Ohio USA I’m 32 Years old, am so happy I got my blank ATM card from Adriano. My blank ATM card can withdraw $4,000 daily. I got it from Him last week and now I have withdrawn about $10,000 for free. The blank ATM withdraws money from any ATM machines and there is no name on it because it is blank just your PIN will be on it, it is not traceable and now I have money for business, shopping and enough money for me and my family to live on.I am really glad and happy i met Adriano because I met Five persons before him and they could not help me. But am happy now Adriano sent the card through DHL and I got it in two days.

I’m happy and grateful to Adriano because he changed my story all of a sudden. The card works in all countries that is the good news Adriano's email address is adrianohackers01@gmail.com
