The managing director and chief executive officer of Fidelity Bank Plc, Mr. Nnamdi Okonkwo, has charged parents to build enduring educational legacy for their children.
Making the plea at a forum hosted by the bank in partnership with Quelu Educational Centre and Nubi Educational Consult in Lagos, Okonkwo who was represented by the head, corporate banking directorate, Mr. Obaro Odeghe, stated that is better to bequeath an enduring education foundation for one’s children instead of houses.
Also speaking, the bank’s divisional head of private banking, Ms Chioma Nwankwo, explained that the bank partnered with the Centre to equip its high net worth and ultra-high net worth clients adequately.
“Studying abroad is becoming more popular among Nigerian students as the country itself continues to pursue integration into the international landscape.
“The demand for professionals with global experience is rapidly increasing among local employers.
“Our private bank has therefore partnered with Quelu Advising Centre over an interactive education advisory session to better equip our high net worth and ultra-high net worth clients for future engagements in this respect,” she said.
Besides, she said the session was also one of the fora put together by the division and targeted at the younger generation.
She also said that the session was loaded with the necessary steps for achieving a greater future, “as wealth is preserved from one generation to another.”
Quelu Educational Centre is an advisory company operating under Shorelight Group of Companies working with top-tier universities to offer services to prospective students who wish to study abroad.
The forum, which provided sufficient information and guidelines extensively, covered student profiling, advice on university selection and finding scholarship opportunities.
Other information shared included application and admission process, visa application preparation, amongst others.
