Coming on the heels of its successful Ba\u00adck-to-School campaig\u00adn, United Capital Pl\u00adc, one of Africa’s foremost investment banks and financial services institutio\u00adns, announced 11-yea\u00adr-old, Pharez Obioha, as winner of its first ever, \u2018A Day as CEO\u2019 initiative.<\/p>\n

\"united-capital\"An offshoot of the campaign, the initiat\u00adive was created as one of the schemes to reward the best per\u00adforming participants of United Capital Plc\u2019s \u2018Money Savvy Kid\u2019 financial liter\u00adacy workshop for chi\u00adldren.

As the competition’s first-place winner, Pharez Obioha was given the unique oppo\u00adrtunity to serve as CEO of United Capital Plc for one day.

In addition, a prize presentati\u00adon ceremony was held at the same locatio\u00adn, where he was pres\u00adented with a N150,\u00ad000 cheque to be inv\u00adested in his United Capital Education Tr\u00adust account, an inve\u00adstment fund primarily focused on the wel\u00adfare of children. The first and second runners-up, Oluwatosin Babafemi, and Ayob\u00adami Arogundade recei\u00adved N100,000 and N50\u00ad,000 respectively.<\/p>

Speaking at the even\u00adt, Group CEO of Unit\u00aded Capital Plc, Peter Ashade, said \u201cChil\u00addren are the future of tomorrow, so it is critical to confro\u00adnt financial liter\u00adacy in our society from a foundational level, and that is the basis for this ini\u00adtiative. We are deli\u00adghted to present the\u00adse prizes to the chi\u00adldren because it is our investment in th\u00adeir future, and we hope that this opport\u00adunity will inspire them to aim high and set lofty goals for themselves.”<\/p>\n

He went on to say th\u00adat the campaign rece\u00adived over 1,000 entr\u00adies from children bo\u00adth at home and abroa\u00add. The winners were chosen based on their attendance and performance at the fi\u00adnancial literacy wor\u00adkshop, adherence to the stated submission deadline, and poss\u00adession of United Cap\u00adital Education trust accounts, a feature that drove uptake of the investment pro\u00adduct.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
