UBA launches online entertainment platform with exclusive Wizkid interview

United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc has unveiled its creative online radio channel RED Radio.

RED Radio is a lifestyle web platform that has been set up to inform, educate, entertain and to bring to the fore, the best of Africa. Much like its sister platform REDTV, RED Radio is expected to showcase the best in lifestyle, entertainment, music, news, comedy and fashion.

Speaking on the launch of RED Radio, UBA Group chairman Tony Elumelu applauded the creative initiative, emphasising that UBA is a financial institution always ready to support creativity and entrepreneurship.

The 2020 Time 100 most influential person in the world who has committed $100 million to empowering young entrepreneurs across Africa said about RED Radio, “Creativity and innovation are a powerful combination and every detail in an art piece is important and meaningful. This applies to growing businesses and budding entrepreneurs. You will encounter challenges, like I did, but each experience is a lesson that brings you closer to your goal. That is the beauty of creativity.”

Continuing, Elumelu remarked, “There are many ways to make something beautiful, to make a sound interesting or to bring a story to life. You can define your expression, and today, as UBA’s RED Radio launches, I wish Bola Atta and her enterprising team many successes through this beautiful medium of expression.”

UBA brand ambassador Wizkid granted an exclusive interview on one of the station’s flagship shows On the Street where he spoke extensively about his upcoming album Made in Lagos and what his fans should expect from him in the coming weeks.

“I am never too busy for my UBA family” Wizkid was quoted saying.
