The Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation said its push for financial literacy among young minds, especially secondary school students, is borne out of the need to build a long-term savings culture, promote financial independence and protect young people from financial fraud.
The Principal Manager, Communication and Public Affairs of the corporation, Sa’adatu Bowsan, stated this while addressing students of the Federal Technical College, Ukana Offot, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, on financial literacy.
The event, themed “Smart Money Talks,” was held at the college hall on Thursday.
The event was held as part of activities to commemorate Financial Literacy Day 2026, an annual awareness campaign driven by the NDIC and the Central Bank of Nigeria, which emphasises the importance of open conversations about money to help individuals, especially young people, build confidence and make informed financial decisions.
