CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA PARTNERS WITH JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT NIGERIA AND 29 FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS TO IMPLEMENT GLOBAL MONEY WEEK 2017.
In celebration of Global Money Week 2017, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)  has declared March 30, 2017 Financial Literacy Day, on which MD/CEOs and top executives of 29 banks and financial institutions across the nation will visit over 800 schools in 36 states to teach financial literacy curriculum provided by Junior Achievement Nigeria. Over 80,000 students will be impacted through Junior Achievement Nigeria’s cutting-edge curriculum based on this year’s Global Money Week’s “Learn. Save. Earn” theme set to hold worldwide from Monday 27th March – Sunday 2nd April 2017.

The CBN initiative is managed by the Bankers Committee which works with Junior Achievement Nigeria to match banks to schools. “This is the fourth year we are implementing Financial Literacy Day in partnership with Junior Achievement Nigeria and we have seen the program improve and expand each year,” said Emeka Emuwa, Managing Director of Union Bank of Nigeria and Chairman of the CBN Bankers Committee. “Our ultimate goal is to ensure that every Nigerian student understands financial literacy and is able to make sound financial decisions that will lead to a productive and successful life.”


“We are grateful for the opportunity to develop the curriculum and implement this initiative with the CBN Bankers Committee every year,” said Mrs. Simi Nwogugu, Executive Director of Junior Achievement Nigeria. “The goal of Global Money Week is to teach children and youth about money, saving, creating livelihoods, gaining employment and becoming an entrepreneur through interactive and fun activities. This aligns with the three pillars upon which Junior Achievement’s programs are built: Financial Literacy, Work Readiness, and Entrepreneurship.”

The journey of four years ends today. I have finally achieved the goal of bagging a degree in Economics. I know I’m supposed to be happy.
