Heritage Bank is set to launch a comic
book to drive financial inclusion among children. The launch of the book
is one of the highlights of the bank’s Children Banking Month 2016,
which is a financial literacy campaign to commemorate the May 27th
Children’s Day celebration.
In a personal letter conveying details
of the Children Banking Month 2016 of young customers of the Bank,
Managing Director/Chief Executive, Heritage Bank, Mr. Ifie Sekibo
explained that May 27 is set aside nationally as Children’s Day and to
honour children, the bank declared the entire month of May as Children
Banking Month.
“We are dedicating this month to you, our young customer, because of the
important position you hold in the destiny of our great nation,
Nigeria.
“Our theme for this year’s celebration
is “Taking the Early Lead” and aligned with this is our financial
literacy campaign geared towards equipping you with the requisite
knowledge to make you a remarkable leader in future. This is also in
keeping with the bank’s vision of creating, preserving and transferring
wealth across generations.
I personally want to congratulate you on
behalf of the management and staff of Heritage Bank ahead of the
Children’s Day celebrations on the May 27 and to urge you to stay in
school and stay focused on your academics. I also want to let you know
that you can be anything you want to be in future if you listen to mummy
and daddy and also to your teachers in school. As the buds of today and
the stars of tomorrow, we are counting on you to make the difference in
our great nation,” he added.
According to Sekibo, throughout this
month, officials of the bank would go round a number of schools
throughout the country imparting knowledge on elementary finance.
