Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Financial literacy, encompassing skills like budgeting, saving, investing, and managing debt, is essential for individual and community economic empowerment. Despite its importance, financial literacy remains low in many parts of Nigeria, particularly in rural areas like Sabon Birni Local Government Area, Sokoto State, where poverty and low education levels are prevalent (Abubakar & Garba, 2024). Films, as an accessible and engaging medium, have proven effective in educating audiences on complex topics through storytelling and relatable narratives. In recent years, Nollywood and regional filmmakers have begun to incorporate themes of financial literacy into their content, using compelling characters and situations to illustrate practical financial concepts (Ali & Musa, 2023). This study examines the effectiveness of films as tools for teaching financial literacy in Sabon Birni, exploring their reach, content, and impact on audience behavior.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
The lack of financial literacy in rural areas like Sabon Birni exacerbates poverty and economic vulnerability. Traditional methods of financial education, such as workshops and seminars, are often inaccessible or ineffective due to low attendance and engagement. Films, with their ability to entertain and educate simultaneously, offer an alternative approach, but their potential as a medium for financial literacy education remains underexplored (Ibrahim & Yusuf, 2023). This study seeks to address this gap by evaluating the effectiveness of films in teaching financial literacy to the residents of Sabon Birni.
