What People Are Saying

The Banking and Financial Services Awareness Month brings on board key learnings as regards to adopting and being resilient through this tough time of COVID- 19 and it's challenges. A deep and enlightening moment for all to be a part of as we navigate the rough waters

Financial literacy is the difference between destitute life or happy life. A family of people with financial skills is more happy than that without. One of the biggest cause of early death is poverty. Yet, basic financial skills could save millions of people and give them an opportunity to live longer to see their grand children grow! At Summit Consulting we are so thrilled to partner with Institute of Banking and Financial Services in mass financial literacy awareness as technology experts

“The Banking and Financial Services Awareness Month is not only important for the financial services sector but also for the entire economy because it is for everyone who cares about financial inclusion.”

“Entrepreneurs come here to look for businesses to invest in but they cannot find them. Our young people only start businesses out of necessity to survive. They do subsistence business with no plans to expand.”

We are saying anyone can run. We have runners with us of different stature, some are businesspeople, employed and unemployed, while others are consultants and we think they need this message to take it out to the rest of the population," CEO It should be possible for all of us to do something about the environment, people need to start backyard gardening and every Saturday convert the money which you have been using in the market into saving it, so that it can support someone to achieve their goals and whatever has been saved be diverted to conserving the environment.

“It is going to take a team for us to change the mindsets of our people about financial literacy. We in the financial sector have a great deal of work to do.”

For this year, we mark World Savings Day under the theme, "Start Small, Grow Big: Be Green Smart", to inspire the accumulation of savings while preserving the environment. Saving money for future goals and protecting the environment are complementary aspects of sustainability. And, just as the time to save money is when one has some, however small the amount; every little step to reduce carbon emissions matters, however global the climate risk. Timely and sustainable saving is smart saving
