Schools Benefit from First Bank’s Financial Literacy Initiative

FirstBank of Nigeria Limited sets a record as the first bank to empower the Nigerian child with sound financial education; the bank has established the FutureFirst initiative aimed at empowering secondary school students between ages of 12 and 17 with tools and knowledge for long-term financial independence.The Financial Literacy Programme seeks to provide an experiential supplement to the business education of high school students in Nigeria and empower them with financial knowledge through training on running a business and the basics of money to promote a savings culture amongst them.This initiative has two platforms; the Career Counselling and Financial Literacy Programmes; both aimed at ensuring the youths of our nation are financially independent through fulfilling careers and the right financial knowledge.It is also in partnership with Junior Achievement of Nigeria, who have been at the forefront of championing financial literacy in Nigeria for over 15 years.Currently, over 40,000 students from 60 secondary schools have benefited from this programme.
