The Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX Group) Plc commemorated the annual Global Money Week with a virtual X-Tour and digital Closing Gong Ceremony for Children’s International School.
Speaking at the event, the Divisional Head, Trading Business, Nigerian Exchange Limited, Jude Chiemeka said the Exchange will continue to prioritize financial literacy advocacy in the country. “At NGX, we will not relent in our drive to pursue initiatives and facilitate conversations that prioritize Financial Literacy as a catalyst through which the country can achieve financial and economic growth and advancement.”
In his words: “This is evidenced by our initiatives such as the Annual National Competition, Adopt-A-School and X-Tour Initiatives, and other Financial Literacy Programs. We are, therefore, pleased to host the bright young leaders at Children’s International School in commemoration of Global Money Week 2021 and look forward to empowering children and young people to not only learn to manage their money wisely, but also to transfer this knowledge to their families and communities.”
With the theme, Take Care of Yourself, Take Care of Your Money and the slogan, Learn. Save. Earn, the Head of Department, Market Surveillance, Abimbola Babalola took the students through a presentation on the opportunities the capital market provides for those aiming to gain financial independence through investment in different asset classes.

This led to an insightful interactive session between Babalola and the students who were later given the privilege to sound the digital closing gong and bring the day’s trading to a close.
Global Money Week (GMW), organised by the OECD International Network on Financial Education (OECD/INFE), is an annual global awareness-raising campaign that ensures that that young people are financially knowledgeable and gradually acquire the skills, attitude and behaviors necessary to make sound financial decisions and ultimately achieve financial well-being and financial resilience.
