The Nigerian Governors' Forum (NGF) has announced a partnership with Investopedia aimed at strengthening financial literacy and improving economic knowledge across the country.
According to the NGF, the collaboration is designed to equip Nigerians, especially young people, with essential financial skills that will help them navigate the economy and make informed decisions in business and personal finance.
Speaking on the initiative, NGF's Director-General, Asishana Okauru, said the programme aligns with the Forum's broader objective of promoting economic empowerment at the grassroots. He explained that financial literacy is critical for sustainable development and inclusive growth.
"This partnership with Investopedia will give our people access to simplified financial education resources. It will also support state governments in embedding financial literacy into community programmes that target youths, women, and entrepreneurs," Okauru stated.

Roberts said: "We believe financial literacy is the foundation for long-term prosperity. By working with the NGF, we can reach more Nigerians and provide practical tools to improve their financial wellbeing."
The NGF added that training sessions, digital resources, and workshops will be rolled out in the coming months to support the project, with state governments playing a key role in mobilising participants.
The Forum expressed optimism that the initiative will foster a financially savvy population capable of driving investments and contributing positively to Nigeria's economy.
