The Board of Directors of United Bank for Africa Plc has canceled its 58th Annual General Meeting dated March 2, 2020.

According to a notice by the bank to the Nigerian Stock Exchange, its 58th Annual General Meeting which was previously scheduled to be held on Friday, March 27, 2020, at the Eko Hotels & Suites, Victoria Island, had been postponed.
