FBN Merchant Bank teaches students savings habits

FBN Merchant Bank Limited, a subsidiary of the FBN Holdings Plc, has educated over 1,200 students of six secondary schools on money, saving and entrepreneurship in a move to promote financial literacy and encourage a strong savings culture among children.

This is in support of the CBN’s financial inclusion and financial literacy drive as part of the 2017 Global Money Week.

Leading the team that engaged the students, the MD/CEO of FBN Merchant Bank, Mr. Kayode Akinkugbe, taught pupils of Holy Child Catholic School Ekiti State the importance of saving and investing for the future. 

Students from other schools, including the Victoria Island Junior Secondary School and Government College Victoria Island in Lagos; Government Secondary School in Abuja; and Government Girls Secondary School in Port Harcourt, also benefitted from the financial literacy day activities.
