Norrenberger, an integrated financial services group, said it is hosting Children’s Day event to promote financial literacy in children and parents while fostering financial inclusion.
It said in a statement that the two-part event designed for parents and young children would highlight the significance of cultivating a saving and investing culture, as well as making key financial decisions to secure their future.
The event scheduled to hold at Norrenberger headquarters in Abuja would feature a free financial literacy workshop for children from ages five to 15, and a financial clinic for parents.
Both groups would have access to financial advisors, who would engage them in interactive sessions to make learning and investing fun and memorable.
Prior to the event and as part of our Children’s Day celebration, Norrenberger said it hosted a webinar designed specifically for parents and guardians, themed ‘Investing the Norren Kickstart Way: Protecting the future of your children’.
The webinar, it noted, focused on educating parents/guardians about the importance of making financially savvy decisions for their children.
Participants were also enlightened about opportunities to kickstart their investing journey with the Norren Kickstart investment account, it stated.
The webinar was informative and provided valuable insights into the best financial planning practices, it said.
Speaking at the event, the Group Head, Asset Management said, “We have started initiatives like this to advance the agenda of the partnership among the Nigerian Exchange Limited, Central Bank of Nigeria, and Securities and Exchange Commission to enhance financial literacy in children and youths through sessions that discuss topics on personal finance, investing, and trading with technology on the stock market.
“Children are the future of the country. The best time to provide them with the information they need to make smart financial decisions is at an early age, and we are committed to promoting programs like this that unlock opportunities in our society.
“In line with our commitment to deliver at least one financial solution to every household by 2025, Norrenberger will be gifting participating children with stock-brokering accounts with Norrenberger Securities Limited, each featuring two current performing stocks.”
