NGX encourages youth investment culture

As it celebrates the 2023 edition of 'Global Money Week,' Nigerian Exchange Limited says it has continued its advocacy of instilling a saving and investing culture in young Nigerians. It stated that the purpose of the week was to raise awareness about the importance of ensuring that young people are financially aware from a young age and gradually acquire the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviors required to make sound financial decisions and ultimately achieve financial well-being and financial resilience. According to a statement, NGX, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and NGX Regulation Limited collaborated with the Central Bank of Nigeria to educate over 100 students on the theme "Plan your money, plant your future" in order to improve investor education and financial literacy. The Divisional Head, Capital Markets, NGX, Jude Chiemeka, emphasised on the need to guide children in their formative years to be responsible citizens in the future. He noted that choices they made today would have a significant impact on their future.
