CBN asks youths to embrace saving culture

The Central Bank of Nigeria has urged pupils to embrace saving culture as well as engage in buying shares early in life.

This, the bank said, would help to prepare them for future economic challenges.

The CBN Ekiti State branch Controller, Samuel Ogungbayi, gave the advice during a mentoring programme held at Christ’s School, Ado Ekiti, to mark the 2015 World Savings Day.

Ogungbayi, represented by the Head of Currency Department, Mr. Ayo Ajayi, said the event was organised to inculcate the habit of saving in children.

Also, the Director, CBN Consumer Protection Department, Mr. Umma Dutse, represented by Mrs. Bolaji Lartey, urged the pupils to save and plan for their future.
