Ogochukwu Ekezie-Ekaidem, Chief Brand and Marketing Officer at Union Bank has been selected to represent the financial institution on the board, bringing the number of JA Nigeria board members to 12.

As lead sponsor of the annual LEAD Camp for young girls and an enthusiastic supporter of other JAN initiatives, Union Bank has been a consistent and active JAN partner for more than six years.

The impact of Junior Achievement in Nigeria cannot be quantified, thanks to organizations and individuals that sit on our Board and provide strategic support to our activities.
