(Business in Cameroon) - The Nigerian banking group, United Bank of Africa (UBA) has just appointed Nigerian Udom Isong to the post of Managing Director of its Cameroonian subsidiary, replacing Georges Wega, terminated by Société générale Cameroun, according to the Quotidien de l’Economie.

Managing Director of UBA in Congo Brazzaville until his transfer to Cameroon, the Nigerian born Udom Isong has, for a time, occupied the post of Managing Director at UBA Cameroon and knows the subsidiary he will be directing very well.

The former UBA Cameroon Managing Director, Georges Wega, was recruited in late June 2014 by SG Cameroon, at the very moment where the Cameroonian subsidiary of the French banking group was facing unease among staff, who were demanding the sacking of Jean Philippe Guillaume, accused of disregarding employee rights.

While some credible sources have been announcing Georges Wega to the post of Managing Director at Société générale Cameroun, while expecting the relevant procedures from the CEMAC zone watchdog, Jean Philippe Guillaume specified that the former Managing Director of UBA was simply recruited as a “senior executive”.
