CBN Adopts New Policy For Financial Literacy
The Central Bank of Ni
geria (CBN) has developed a new policy to make Nigerians financially literate, Hajiya Khadija Kassim, the Deputy Director, Consumer Protection Department in the apex bank, has said.
Kassim said yesterday in Kano at a Consumer Sensitisation Forum that, the Financial Literacy Framework, would increase awareness and understanding among Nigerians of financial products and services.
“It will also enhance efficient usage of financial resources and empower Nigerians with the knowledge to make informed choices and take effective actions that will enhance their financial well-being.
“This gathering today is part of the Financial Literacy Framework,’ she said.
Kassim explained that when majority of the nation’s population is financially literate, they would understand the formal financial system and contribute to financial stability.
The deputy director said the bank had put in place a solid structure to ensure maximum protection of consumers of financial services from exploitation by service providers.
“The reality is that financial education and literacy is imperative if we are to meet our objective of becoming a developed economy by the year 2020,’’ she said.
A cross-section of the participants at the forum commended the CBN for initiating the programme.
The stakeholders’ forum was attended by personalities from the various sectors of the economy.
