Speaking as well, Maaji Mohammed, the principal of Government College Maiduguri, underlined the value of student empowerment and pointed out that the program will have a significant positive impact on the students' futures.
While the event's coordinator, Mrs. Regina Josiah Demlong, spoke extensively about the advantages of saving for personal growth, Bello Mohammed's paper presentation traced the history of World Savings Day back to October 30, 1934, and emphasized the significance of teaching students the value of saving.
In a closing remark, the school's Vice Principal thanked the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation for organizing the event, describing it as timely and impactful.
