Risevest, an online wealth management platform, in partnership with Schoolinka, has graduated the first cohort of RiseEducators, a financial literacy programme designed to equip Nigerian teachers with the knowledge and tools needed to build long-term financial security.
The company said in a statement on Monday that the four-week programme, which welcomed 500 teachers from across Nigeria, was created to help educators develop healthier financial habits and gain practical knowledge about wealth building. The initiative marks the beginning of a broader effort to improve financial literacy among teachers nationwide.
Throughout the programme, participants completed four learning phases covering key areas of personal finance. Teachers learnt how to manage their money more intentionally, understand inf lation and its impact on purchasing power, build sustainable savings habits, and take their first steps towards investing for long-term wealth creation.
To encourage the practical application of the lessons learnt, the top 10 performing participants received up to $50 each as kickstarter funding to begin their investment journey.
The programme culminated in a graduation ceremony held on Friday, June 12, where 20 finalists who successfully completed the course were recognised for their commitment to improving their financial futures.
