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.
