  How Nigerians Abroad Can Grow Wealth at Home...                                                                 By Tolulope Rojaiye A Nigerian professional in London closes her laptop after another workday. In Toronto, a family reviews its financial plans for the next few years. In Houston, an entrepreneur considers what to do with money set aside for a future commitment in Nigeria.

By Olufunmilola ‘Funmie’ Aluko | Customer Experience Leader | Chief Brand and Marketing Officer/ Head, Customer Experience, Union Bank of Nigeria On any ordinary day, in any large city, the same moment plays out thousands of times.
