History-made as Central Bank Approves Mohamed Samoura As UBA Sierra Leone MD and CEO
Sierra Leone’s central bank has officially approved Mohamed Alhajie Samoura as UBA Sierra Leone Managing Director and CEO. Samoura, who has been serving in an acting capacity for a year, is the first Sierra Leonean to lead UBA’s local subsidiary since 2008.
The approval, known as the “No Objection,” was granted by the Bank of #SierraLeone on January 30, 2024, following the endorsement of Samoura’s nomination by the UBA Group Office and the UBA Sierra Leone Board of Directors in December.
Samoura succeeded Usman Isiaka and is the sixth MD-CEO of UBA-SL in the past sixteen years. Since assuming his role, Samoura has made significant strides, building upon the achievements of his predecessors. He has doubled the bank’s revenue, profitability, deposits, account openings, and risk assets. Samoura is deeply committed to the UBA brand and is invested in the growth of local businesses.
