The 2025 theme for Global Money Week is “Think Before You Follow, Wise Money Tomorrow,” encouraging prudent financial decision-making for a secure future. The annual campaign, now in its 13th edition, fosters financial awareness in children and youths from an early age.

Speaking at the event, Abimbola Babalola, NGX Head of Trading and Products, emphasised the crucial role of financial literacy in shaping the futures of young Nigerians. “The choices you make today with money will influence the quality of your future,” Mr. Babalola noted, highlighting the importance of early financial education.

He urged students to understand saving, investing, and managing money responsibly, as these skills lead to long-term financial success. Christian Mordi, CBN Assistant Director, introduced the “Sabi Money” platform, created to boost financial education across Nigeria.

“Financial literacy means more than numbers; it involves discipline, patience, and informed choices that support economic security,” Mr. Mordi explained. Gbolahan Faniran, MinieMoney CEO, stressed the value of early investment and the benefits of compound interest for building wealth over time

“Financial success isn’t about trends; it’s about making deliberate money decisions today for a secure tomorrow,” Mr. Faniran said. During the event, students participated in discussions on financial literacy, investment, and capital markets and experienced the NGX trading floor in action.
