An integrated financial services Group, Norrenberger, has expressed its readiness to promote financial literacy in children and parents in the country.

The firm’s representative, disclosed at the Norrenberger Children’s Day event targeted at promoting financial literacy, saying the company has started the agenda of partnership among the Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX), Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) 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.

Speaking at the event, Business Head, Asset Management, Norrenberger, Abigail Utomi, said that, “Children are the future of the country and the best time to provide them the information they need to make smart financial decisions is at an early age, and we are committed to promoting programmes like this that unlock opportunities in the society.”

Utomi also urged parents and children on the need to save and entrench investment culture for a better future.

According to him, the event designed for parents and young children highlighted the significance of cultivating a culture of saving and investing as well as making key financial decisions to secure their future.

The event held at Norrenberger headquarters in Abuja featured a free financial literacy workshop for children from ages 5 to 15 and a financial clinic for parents. Both groups had access to financial advisors, who engaged them in interactive sessions to make learning and investing fun and memorable.

Prior to the event and as part of the Children’s Day celebration, Norrenberger had earlier hosted a webinar designed specifically for parents/guardians, themed ‘Investing the Norren Kickstart Way: Protecting the Future of your Children.’

In line with its commitment to deliver at least one financial solution to every household by 2025, Norrenberger gifted participating children stock-brokering accounts with Norrenberger Securities Limited, each featuring two current performing stocks.
