United Bank for Africa Plc has approved its audited financial statements for the half-year ended 30 June 2026, subject to clearance by the Central Bank of Nigeria.
The approval was given at the bank’s board meeting held on 13 August 2026, according to a statement signed by the lender.
UBA said the Nigerian Exchange Limited and the investing public would be notified immediately after receiving the CBN’s approval for the half-year financial statements.
The bank also said its closed period would remain in force until 24 hours after the audited results are released to the public.
In a separate board decision, UBA approved the appointment of Ibrahim Puri as a non-executive director, also subject to CBN approval.
Puri is a financial services and corporate executive with more than 35 years of experience spanning banking, fintech, telecommunications and fast-moving consumer goods.
He previously served as an executive director on UBA’s board before retiring from the position in 2022.
He currently serves as a non-executive director on the boards of several companies, including Nigerian Breweries Plc and 9mobile.
The bank said his appointment remains subject to regulatory approval by the CBN.
UBA had earlier notified the Nigerian Exchange and investors in July of the scheduled 13 August board meeting at which the financial statements were considered.
