As part of its activities to mark the Global Money Week and commemorate the Financial Literacy Day, Wema Bank has organised financial literacy sessions for secondary school pupils across the states.
The event had as its theme: “Plan your Money, plant your Future.’’
This is to instill an early understanding of the significance of building a solid financial foundation and achieving financial stability and success from a young age.
The bank’s Deputy Managing Director of Wema Bank, Wole Akinleye, led the Financial Literacy Session at Yola Model School, Adamawa State.
The students were trained on personal finance topics such as budgeting, emergency funds, saving for goal actualisation, investment, donating for positive societal impact, among others.
He further urged the students on the importance of developing financial literacy as a life skill.
Akinleye emphasised Wema Bank’s commitment to empowering young minds with the skills and knowledge necessary to make informed financial decisions.
In his words, “Our hope is that through these initiatives, we can empower more individuals to take control of their finances and achieve financial stability.”
Financial literacy is vital for the achievement of financial stability, and it is essential to ensure that everyone has the tools to manage their finances effectively and achieve their financial goals.
Wema Bank is committed to providing educational resources and opportunities for children through the Royal Kiddies Account and other savings products, supporting financial empowerment for the next generation.
