Guidance On Sustainable Financial Management For Beneficiaries

During the presentation ceremony held on Thursday, Commissioner Giwa provided explicit counsel to the recipient families regarding the long,term management of these funds. He urged the beneficiaries to resist the temptation of quick,return investment schemes and to be wary of individuals attempting to exploit their sudden liquidity.
