Unity Bank Plc marks Global Money Week 2025 by training students in 13 Nigerian secondary schools on wise financial decision-making

This initiative was part of the bank’s commemoration of the 2025 Global Money Week, a worldwide campaign aimed at fostering financial awareness among young people.

Under the global theme, “Think before you follow, wise money tomorrow,” Unity Bank’s programme focused on equipping students with critical thinking skills essential for navigating financial decisions, particularly in an era heavily influenced by social media and digital distractions.

The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Unity Bank Plc, Ebenezer Kolawole, actively supported the initiative. Represented by the bank’s Zonal Head for South South/South East, William Odigie, Kolawole attended a session at Boys Model Secondary School in Owerri, Imo State.

During the event, he underscored the paramount importance of financial responsibility, urging students to cultivate habits of saving, investing, and prudent financial management. He also cautioned against impulsive financial behaviours, especially in the online sphere.

“The habits you form now around saving, spending, and investing will shape your financial future. It’s not about how much you have, but how wisely you manage it.” – Ebenezer Kolawole

Speaking through the Zonal Head, Kolawole emphasised, “The habits you form now around saving, spending, and investing will shape your financial future. It’s not about how much you have, but how wisely you manage it.”

Across the 13 schools participating nationwide, Unity Bank facilitators led engaging interactive discussions, practical money management exercises, and knowledge-testing quizzes.

Students who demonstrated exceptional understanding during these sessions were recognised and rewarded with branded gift items, reinforcing the valuable financial literacy lessons imparted.

Unity Bank’s active participation in Global Money Week underscores its broader commitment to youth empowerment and financial education.

This aligns with the bank’s recent launch of GenFi, a youth-centric digital banking application designed to instil smart money habits in children and teenagers aged 8 to 18 through gamified learning, goal-setting features, and parental guidance.

Global Money Week is a significant annual initiative coordinated in Nigeria by the Central Bank of Nigeria in collaboration with the Bankers’ Committee and Junior Achievement Nigeria.
