NGX Group, CBN, and MinieMoney Empower Nigerian Students with Financial Literacy Skills

In a bid to promote financial inclusion, the Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX Group), the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), and MinieMoney have teamed up to equip over 200 students with crucial financial literacy skills. This initiative, held as part of the 2025 Global Money Week celebration, aims to foster long-term financial well-being among young Nigerians by providing them with the knowledge needed for responsible money management.

The event brought together students from several prominent Nigerian schools, including Vivian Fowler Memorial College for Girls, Dansol High School, and Caleb British International School, among others. This collaborative effort is designed to raise awareness about the importance of financial education and prepare the younger generation for informed financial decision-making.

During the event, Mr. Abimbola Babalola, Head of Trading and Products at NGX, emphasized the life-changing potential of financial literacy. He urged the students to recognize that the financial decisions they make now will greatly impact their futures, stressing the importance of learning early about saving, investing, and responsible money management.

Christian Mordi, Assistant Director at CBN’s Consumer Protection Department, introduced the CBN’s ‘Sabi Money’ platform, a nationwide initiative to improve financial literacy. Meanwhile, Gbolahan Faniran, CEO of MinieMoney, underscored the importance of cultivating early investment habits and making deliberate financial decisions to secure a prosperous future. The event highlighted that financial education is key to achieving lasting economic security and success.
