Background of the Study
Financial literacy is essential for managing personal finances, yet many rural communities in Nigeria, including Warji LGA in Bauchi State, face significant gaps in this area. Women, in particular, often lack access to financial education, which affects their ability to make informed decisions about saving, budgeting, and investing. Advertising, as a tool for spreading awareness, can play an important role in educating rural women on financial management practices. Research by Aliyu et al. (2023) suggests that targeted advertising campaigns can influence financial behaviors by increasing awareness about savings accounts, investment opportunities, and money management techniques. However, the specific role of advertising in promoting financial literacy among rural women in Warji LGA remains underexplored, making it the focus of this study.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Financial literacy among rural women in Warji LGA is low, and this lack of knowledge contributes to their financial vulnerability. Despite efforts by governmental and non-governmental organizations to enhance financial education, advertising has not been adequately utilized as a medium to promote financial literacy. As a result, many rural women remain unaware of financial tools and resources that could help them achieve economic empowerment. This study seeks to investigate how advertising can promote financial literacy among rural women in Warji LGA.
