He added that good financial management would enhance their capabilities as personnel.
The guest lecturer, Mr. Segun Aremu, CEO of Peculiar Innovative Consulting, delivered a captivating blend of practical guidance and engaging narratives on essential topics such as budgeting, savings, investment, and debt management.
