PRESIDENT TINUBU MOURNS THE PASSING OF FORMER UBA CHAIRMAN, CHIEF ISRAEL OGBUE

 

President Bola Tinubu has commiserated with the family, friends, and associates of the late Chief Israel Ogbue, former Chairman of the United Bank for Africa (UBA), who passed away at the age of 99.

 

With a distinguished career in the Federal Civil Service, the National Insurance Corporation (NICON), and NAL Merchant Bank, Chief Ogbue served as a non-executive director of UBA from 2005 until 2011, when he was appointed Chairman. He served on the board until 2013. Throughout his tenure, he displayed dignity and strategic foresight and provided steady, principled leadership during a pivotal period in the bank’s transformation.

 

Chief Ogbue was the father of Dr Awele Elumelu, the wife of UBA Group Chairman Tony Elumelu.

 

The President extends his condolences to the Elumelu family and the extended family members over this loss. He also sympathises with UBA's Board, management, and staff.

 

President Tinubu acknowledges the numerous testimonies praising the exemplary life and times of the late UBA Chairman, who was a devoted family man, committed public servant, and a Christian. He lived humbly, dedicating his time, treasures, and experience to serving the church, the poor, the vulnerable, and his community.

 

The President prays that Almighty God will receive the soul of the departed patriarch and bless his family.
