Access Pensions takes financial literacy training to schools

Access Pensions said it is providing financial literacy training to secondary and primary school students in 30 schools across Nigeria in the first phase of the company’s plan to educate a total of over five thousand students by the end of 2024.

The move is in a bid to cultivate a foundational understanding of crucial financial concepts such as savings, investments, and overall financial literacy.

The initiative is designed to empower the youth with the necessary tools to make informed financial decisions as they navigate through life.

The Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Lead at Access Pensions, Oluchi Maduwuba, in a statement emphasised the significance of financial literacy as a cornerstone for empowering the younger generation. She highlighted that instilling financial wisdom early on allows individuals to make smart money decisions in future.

Maduwuba stated: “Money significantly influences various aspects of our lives, and now, these children have the luxury of time. Saving early ensures their money is invested for a longer period, providing it with the chance to grow. It will help them cultivate a culture of earning, saving and even investing money, leading ultimately, to self-sufficiency in the future.”
