FMDQ COO Advocates for Financial Literacy in Youth

Ms. Tumi Sekoni, the Chief Operating Officer of FMDQ Group, highlighted the critical role of financial literacy as an essential life skill during the 2026 Global Money Week outreach aimed at students.

This initiative, part of FMDQ's corporate responsibility, seeks to bolster economic resilience among younger generations. The outreach included intensive teaching sessions held at Bethesda Secondary School in Ikota, Ajah, focusing on demystifying complex market concepts and instilling disciplined financial decision-making.

Sekoni stressed the urgency of early intervention in financial education, recognizing that financial knowledge empowers individuals to build sustainable futures. The outreach aligns with FMDQ's broader goals of economic cooperation and development, contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals of quality education and poverty eradication.

Since its inception in 2018, the FMDQ Next Generation Financial Market Empowerment Program has impacted 1,470 participants, including primary school pupils and university graduates, through various channels such as summer camps and virtual sessions.
