Elizabeth's Inspiring Journey to UBA Banking School

Elizabeth, a Nigerian linguistics graduate, celebrated her graduation from the United Bank for Africa's Graduate Management Accelerated Programme (GMAP) and shared her journey on TikTok on August 24, 2026. Her journey began in July 2025 when she discovered the GMAP announcement on social media.

After submitting her application, she received an email in October 2025 confirming her shortlist for a first online assessment. Following her success in this stage, she completed a second assessment and then participated in a virtual case study presentation, where she delivered a PowerPoint presentation to a panel.

Elizabeth's detailed account resonated with many viewers, particularly those from arts and humanities backgrounds, who had previously dismissed careers in financial institutions without applying. Her story serves as an inspiration for young job seekers navigating similar paths.
