The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Foundation has partnered with KudiMata to enlighten The NYSC 2024 Batch B Stream II corps members on financial literacy.

Kudimata is a financial community dedicated to empowering individuals through training, education, support, connection, and promotion of financial literacy.

During the zoom session, a representative from Kudimata explained the concept of money, highlighting that its value goes beyond physical cash. The representative pointed out that anything with exchange value, including personal attributes like skills, knowledge, and ideas, can be considered a form of currency.

“It is beyond physical cash or currency – it is knowledge, experience, skills that can be exchanged as value,” he said.

Kudimata’s representative also emphasised the crucial role of the mind in achieving financial intelligence. He stressed that success as an entrepreneur, graduate, or in any field begins with one’s mindset and perception of money and finance.

“Who you are begins to affect the way you see money and spend money.”

“How to earn money starts from having an intelligent mind, money is not a currency but anything that can be exchanged for value (knowledge, experience, relationship). Build your capacity for earning because the amount of capacity or solutions you have determines the amount of money you can earn,” he said.
