The Financial Literacy Day program is an annual awareness
program set aside by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and aimed at enhancing
financial literacy and inclusion amongst children.
To mark this year’s event, employees of Keystone Bank
visited 37 schools across the states in Nigeria. The Lender raised financial
literacy awareness amongst 1600 students in Nigeria. The students were imparted
with knowledge and skills to improve and manage their finances at an early
stage. They were also taught the importance of earning money and also the
guidelines to adopt a saving culture.
Commenting on the importance of financial literacy at an
early stage, the Divisional Head, Marketing and Corporate Communications, Izore
Bamawo, expressed that the initiative will help children imbibe a saving
culture while making responsible financial choices and decisions thereby
affecting their future positively.
“Keystone Bank’s participation in the 2022 Financial
Literacy Day program has helped to further promote the savings culture amongst
children and teenagers.”
“The CBN created this important initiative to encourage
financial institutions to educate the younger generation on the basics of
financial education and to also contribute to the improvement of financial
literacy across the Nation.”
“Keystone Bank has remained committed to the continuous
development of financial literacy and inclusion initiatives amongst children as
it would help enhance their financial decisions thereby producing individuals
who are financially responsible,” She said.
Keystone Bank is a technology and service-driven commercial
bank offering convenient and reliable solutions to its customers.
