Somefun, represented by Unity Bank’s Chief Compliance Officer, Patricia Ahunanya, shared valuable insights with the students on building wealth through savings, investing, and early adoption of money management skills.
The aim of the interaction was to instill financial discipline and management skills in the students, encouraging them to strive for financial independence and security while fostering a culture of savings and investment.
Somefun also recognized outstanding students during the session and presented them with awards.
