Celebrating the 2023 edition of Global Money Week (GMW), NGX raise awareness on the importance of ensuring that young people, from an early age, are financially aware, and are gradually acquiring the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviours necessary to make sound financial decisions and ultimately achieve financial well-being and financial resilience.

NGX, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and NGX Regulation Limited (NGX RegCo) partnered the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to educate over 100 students on the theme, ‘Plan your money, Plan your future,’ to further enhance investor education and financial literacy.

The divisional head, Capital Markets, NGX, who spoke about the need to guide children in their formative years so as to be responsible citizens in the future, said, the choices they make today will have a significant impact on their future.

“We must also recognise that our individual financial health is closely linked to the health of the planet and of society as a whole. The choices we make about how we earn, spend, save, and invest our money can either contribute to or undermine the sustainability of our world.

Speaking on other NGX-led financial literacy initiatives, Chiemeka noted that, beyond offering a range of educational resources, the Exchange has a comic book series named NGX StockTown with the goal of using illustrations to raise the next generation leaders who are financially aware, responsible and skilled economic citizens.

They were also gifted shares with the first prize winner receiving N80,000 worth of shares while the first and second runner ups won N70,000 and N50,000 worth of shares respectively.
