FinGreen financial empowerment programme, an initiative of QNET, a global lifestyle and wellness direct-selling company, has graduated another set of 25 Nigerians that participated in the second phase of its financial literacy education programme, targeted at empowering 6,000 Nigerian youths on various financial literacy skills. 

The beneficiaries of the financial literacy programme, who are now FinGreen ambassadors, were celebrated on Wednesday in Lagos and were charged to remain good ambassadors of FinGreen, while training other Nigerians on financial literacy skills, through their various social media networks.

Speaking at the graduation ceremony of the second phase of its financial empowerment programme, the training facilitators commended FinGreen for empowering Nigerians on financial literacy and encouraged the beneficiaries to train more Nigerians on financial literacy skills.
