The Nation Newspaper Foundation trains 100 students on financial literacy
The Foundation, which is an arm of Pan African Capital Securities, said the training was to build an army of sound financial literate youth population that would grow into the future as adults with sound skills in financial management to themselves, family and the society.
In a statement on Saturday, the organisation said: “Financial literacy is a crucial skill that can impact all aspects of a person’s life. We believe by equipping young people with this knowledge, we can help them build a secure and prosperous future.” The Managing Director, PAC Securities, Charles Okonkwo said the foundation targeted students because “students face a unique set of financial challenges due to limited income and often a lack of financial literacy.”Okonkwo emphasised the importance of developing good financial habits early on, including creating a budget, prioritising needs over wants, investing early, focusing on education and building valuable relationships.
President of the Nigerian Medical Laboratory Science Students Association , LASUTH chapter, Oje Oluwide commended the PAC Foundation and PAC Securities for their financial literacy program.
