Polaris Bank Sparks Financial Literacy Revolution in Nigerian Schools During Global Money Week

Polaris Champions Youth Finance at Global Money Week

As part of its mission to foster financial literacy among Nigerian youth, Polaris Bank brought an enlightening financial education program to students of NANA College, Warri, in celebration of the 2025 Global Money Week (GMW).

Led by the Group Head of the Bank, Mr. Andrew Komori, who represented the Managing Director/CEO, the event was a dynamic mix of education and engagement. In a packed school hall, Mr. Komori delivered a compelling address highlighting the importance of financial literacy in building a secure and independent future.

“Financial literacy empowers you to take control of your future,” Komori stated. “It’s not just about spending wisely, it’s about planning, protecting, and growing your wealth.”

From Saving to Investing: Life Lessons for the Next Generation

The session delved into essential topics such as the difference between saving and investing. Using relatable examples, Mr. Komori broke down these concepts: saving as the practice of setting aside funds for short-term needs, and investing as a long-term strategy aimed at generating returns through stocks, mutual funds, or business ventures.

He emphasized that while saving is vital for financial stability, investing is the key to long-term financial growth and freedom. “Achieving financial independence is a balance of earning, saving, and investing smartly,” he added.

Engaging the Curious: Students Ask, Learn, and Reflect

The interactive segment that followed the lecture allowed students to ask questions and share personal financial experiences. Mr. Komori responded with practical advice, encouraging the students to apply the financial knowledge to real-life situations.

The response from the school community was overwhelmingly positive. Principal Mrs. Madamedon expressed her appreciation, saying, “Polaris Bank has made a lasting impact on our students. Financial literacy is essential, and this session has planted seeds of smart financial habits.”

Vice Principal Mrs. Onakufe echoed the sentiment: “The event sparked immediate discussions among students about their finances. We’re confident this will shape their future decisions.”

Nationwide Impact: One School at a Time

Polaris Bank’s outreach isn’t limited to NANA College. The Bank extended its GMW activities to schools nationwide, including Excel International School in Damaturu, Baptist High School in Ede, Christ the King Excellent Academy in Lokoja, and Graceland International School in Ogotun Ekiti, aiming to reach at least one school in every state.

Students across the country have praised the initiative as “eye-opening” and “life-changing,” reaffirming Polaris Bank’s growing influence in financial education.

With its sustained focus on youth empowerment, Polaris Bank is cementing its role as a leader in shaping financially responsible future generations. The Bank remains committed to expanding its reach and impact through continuous investment in financial literacy programs nationwide.
