The training, held on Wednesday at the school premises, was organised as part of activities marking the 2026 World Financial Literacy Day with the theme, “Smart Money Talks.”
Speaking during the programme, the Senior Manager of NDIC, Musa Rasheed, said the initiative was part of the corporation’s efforts to equip young people with the knowledge and skills needed to make informed financial decisions and become financially responsible citizens.
