The theme of this year’s engagement is “Think before you follow, wise money tomorrow,” focusing on helping young people develop discernment and critical thinking in making financial decisions.

The Bank’s Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Ebenezer Kolawole, emphasized the importance of being exposed early to financial management, stating that “the habits you form now around saving, spending, and investing will shape your financial future.”

He shared practical lessons on financial responsibility, guiding students on how to cultivate savings culture, investment, and financial management.
