A global e-commerce and direct selling firm, QNET Ltd., says it is taking advantage of technology and innovation to train 6,000 youths on financial management skills in Nigeria.
The company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of QNET, Malou Caluza, who disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday in Lagos, said such skills would bring more economic opportunities to Nigeria as an emerging economy.
Caluza said that the company’s plan was to empower people, to take control of their financial futures, to be their own bosses, and create a healthy work-life balance.
He also said that part of the QNET strategies was building a sustainable future, by making a positive impact in the lives of its people, especial those within its host communities.
The CEO said that QNET had launched its signature programme for financial literacy, known as FINGREEN, in Nigeria.
According to him, this aims is to develop healthy financial habits through education and training to promote sustainable community development.
“QNET’s aim with FINGREEN is to train 6,000 young people in Nigeria with financial management skills.
“This approach is to intensify the financial inclusion of more youth in Nigeria, as this would help expunge financial illiteracy in the country.
“QNET realises that the only way to bring about poverty alleviation in Nigeria is by training the masses on mindsets, employability and entrepreneurial skills, and financial literacy to better position individuals to achieve financial freedom in the country.
“QNET believes that building strong communities means leveraging technology and innovation to put sustainability at the core of its operations, from when a product is developed to when it is delivered to the customer,” he added.
Caluza further said that the company developed its products with a purpose-led strategy to minimise waste and promote efficient use of resources.
“QNET has also started the process of replacing its product packaging with sustainable materials such as recyclable sleeves and boxes.
“Initiatives such as these mean that QNETs IRs and customers can be confident that when they sell or purchase any of QNETs quality products, they are helping to reduce waste, conserve resources, and contribute to a more sustainable world.
