Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Financial literacy is essential for personal financial management, economic stability, and societal development. In Keffi LGA, Nasarawa State, many individuals lack basic financial knowledge, which leads to poor financial decisions, excessive debt, and low investment in wealth-building opportunities. Public Relations (PR) has emerged as a powerful tool in addressing this knowledge gap. Through targeted communication campaigns, PR can create awareness, foster understanding, and influence behavior toward improved financial management.
Effective PR campaigns utilize various strategies, including workshops, media programs, and collaborations with financial institutions, to demystify financial concepts and provide practical advice. Recent research underscores the role of PR in shaping public attitudes and behaviors toward financial responsibility (Ahmed & Musa, 2024). This study explores how PR initiatives can enhance financial literacy in Keffi LGA, empowering residents to make informed financial decisions.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite the critical role of financial literacy in economic empowerment, residents of Keffi LGA face challenges such as low awareness of financial concepts, limited access to educational resources, and cultural barriers to adopting modern financial practices. While PR campaigns have been effective in other regions, their impact on promoting financial literacy in Keffi LGA remains underexplored. This study addresses this gap by examining how PR strategies can foster financial literacy in the area.
