To commemorate the 2016 Financial Literacy Week held last week, Unity Bank Plc, took its financial literacy campaign to Supreme Model Foundation, Lagos. The financial literacy week is observed annually under the Global Money week and it is recognized as part of efforts to establish and sustain healthy financial habits among children.
Mr Olubowale Ogunrinde, GM/Zonal Head Lagos and South West, Unity Bank Plc, said the initiative was aimed at equipping children across the country with information on how to be financially independent using training materials that touched on topics in the area of savings, investing, budgeting inflation and insurance.
He stated that learning about these areas will not only broaden the understanding of the children on financial systems but also teach them how to imbibe the culture on financial management at a young age.
The Vice Principal of Supreme Model Foundation, Mr Olufemi Adeyemi thanked the Bank for facilitating the lecture at the school.
