Onasanya noted that the initiative, which was part of the 13th edition of Global Money Week themed “Think Before You Follow: Wise Money Tomorrow”, successfully engaged about 1,000 senior secondary school students across Lagos in a transformative financial literacy initiative.

He said, “At Coronation, we are committed to shaping a future where young Africans can make informed financial decisions that transcend generations. By investing in financial education today, we are fostering a financially inclusive society aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 4 on Quality Education and SDG 8 on Decent Work and Economic Growth.”

Onasanya added, “Our mission is to nurture a generation capable of creating, sustaining, and transferring wealth for a prosperous Africa.”

The financial literacy sessions, guided by the theme “Think Before You Follow: Wise Money Tomorrow”, covered critical topics such as budgeting, savings, investment principles, and understanding financial risks.

Expert facilitators from Coronation Group used real-life scenarios to help students cultivate sustainable financial habits and develop a discerning approach to money management.

Reflecting on the impact of the initiative, the VP Student Affairs of Chrisland School, Idimu, said, “It’s never too early to develop good financial habits. These young minds can start saving, investing, and understanding the importance of financial protection through insurance. Programmes like this lay the foundation for a more financially secure future.”

The participating schools included Chrisland School, VGC; Greensprings School, Anthony Campus; Chrisland School, Lekki; and Chrisland School, Idimu.

The initiative underscores Coronation Group’s commitment to sustainable finance and corporate citizenship, as a leading financial services partner dedicated to transformational wealth creation
