The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), on Tuesday, issued a ‘No Objection’ notice to the deal, for the Fidelity Bank to take over the Union Bank of Nigeria, United Kingdom branch.
A document published on Tuesday by Nigerian Exchange said Fidelity announced it has entered into a deal to buy a 100 percent stake in the United Kingdom unit of Nigeria’s second oldest lender, Union Bank.
A statement by the company secretary, Fidelity Bank, Ezinwa Unuigboje, on August 30, said the Union Bank UK commenced operations in London in 1983.
The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Fidelity Bank Plc, Mrs. Nneka Onyeali-Ikpe, said the deal was their plan for expansion of their service.
“This transaction aligns with our strategic plan of expanding our service touchpoints beyond the Nigerian market and providing straight-through services that meet and exceed the needs of our growing clients.
“The diverse service bouquet and business model of Union Bank UK offered a compelling synergy, and we hope to build on the existing capacity to create a scalable and more sustaining service franchise that will support the wider ecosystem of our trade businesses and diaspora banking services,” she said.
According to the statement, the deal to take over the 100 percent stake in the United Kingdom unit of the Union Bank was subject to the approval of the Prudential Regulatory Authority (PRA) of the United Kingdom.
This is not the first step taken by Union Bank in its phases of divestments.
Recall that last year, Union Bank offloaded 90 percent of its shareholding to a new owner, Titan Trust.

But, what about this?think about this, what if you were to write a killer headlinetitle?content?typed a catchier title? I ain’t saying your content isn’t good.ain’t saying your content isn’t gooddon’t want to tell you how to run your blog, but what if you added a titleheadlinetitle that grabbed people’s attention?maybe get a person’s attention?want more? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is a little plain. You might look at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they createwrite post headlines to get viewers interested. You might add a video or a pic or two to get readers interested about what you’ve written. Just my opinion, it could bring your postsblog a little livelier.
