The Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation has trained 200 students of Government Girls Unity College, Damaturu, Yobe State, on financial literacy, stressing the importance of savings, financial discipline and prudent money management among young people.
The training, held on Wednesday at the school premises, was organised as part of activities marking the 2026 World Financial Literacy Day with the theme, “Smart Money Talks.”
Speaking during the programme, the Senior Manager of NDIC, Musa Rasheed, said the initiative was part of the corporation’s efforts to equip young people with the knowledge and skills needed to make informed financial decisions and become financially responsible citizens.
He explained that financial literacy remained an essential life skill that could help students develop healthy financial habits from an early age and prepare them for future responsibilities.
