VICTORIA ISLAND, LAGOS, APRIL 17, 2018 — Cowrywise and EduBridge Academy have teamed up and entered into a partnership to develop cutting edge financial literacy education for students and the working class in Nigeria and on the African continent. This initiative will involve the development and delivery of Cowrywise’s proprietary Personal Wealth Management content on education programmes offered by EduBridge Academy.
Also, it will include developing games that inculcate financial literacy, including the core concepts of savings, investing and appreciation of the financial markets. These resources will be administered across tertiary institutions, secondary schools and primary schools in Nigeria and across the continent.
Speaking about the initiative, Razaq Ahmed, CEO of Cowrywise said, “In the past few months, I have had the opportunity of receiving speaking invites from Nigerian university students’ bodies. While preparing for each presentation and feedbacks received after each event, the interplay of education, career and lifelong financial stability kept popping up. To that end, Cowrywise is working with EduBridge Academy to offer this revolutionary product that combines excellent career education with invaluable financial literacy.
The CEO and co-founder of EduBridge Academy, Babatunde Oladosu said: “EduBridge Academy produces 21st-century graduates. Knowing that career development and personal wealth management are interlinked, we partnered with Cowrywise to deepen the experience that we offer our students and other young Nigerians”.
