The Group Chief Operating Officer of FMDQ Group Plc, Tumi Sekoni, has asserted that achieving sustainable socio-economic development in Nigeria begins with deliberate corporate investments in financial literacy and the capacity building of the younger generation.
Sekoni made this declaration at the Group’s business complex, Exchange Place, during an educational financial literacy excursion organised for secondary school students to commemorate the 2026 International Day of the Boy Child and Children’s Day.
The initiative, hosted under the umbrella of the FMDQ Next Generation Financial Markets Empowerment Programme, brought together over 70 students and facilitators from Chrisland High School, Lekki, and Jeed Trinity College, Isolo, exposing them to the inner workings of the domestic capital market architecture.
“At FMDQ Group, we recognise that meaningful impact begins with investing in young minds,” Sekoni stated while addressing the participants.
“By creating opportunities for learning and exposure beyond the traditional classroom environment, we hope to inspire curiosity, build confidence, and equip the next generation with knowledge that will empower them to make informed financial decisions and contribute positively to society,” she added.
