TGI ends women’s month with finance, investment forum

Global conglomerate and leading contributor to the Nigerian economy, Tropical General Investments (TGI) Group, on Wednesday, rounded off activities marking its 2022 International Women’s Month with a webinar on personal financial management.

The webinar, which was held virtually, was facilitated by finance experts, and enlightened participants on the best means of managing and investing money.
