Plan your child's education long‑term with a dedicated trust, experts say
Sponsored content: Many Nigerian parents pay school fees reactively—covering the bill when it arrives each term. The article argues that true education planning means deciding in advance where money will come from for the full span of a child’s schooling, not just the next term.
It explains that a Child Education Trust is a formal arrangement where parents set aside funds according to agreed terms; a professional trustee administers the money and releases it for school fees, uniforms, books, and university costs at defined milestones. This structure keeps education money separate from general savings, protecting it from emergencies or income shifts.
Relying on whatever is available works only when income is stable and fees stay flat—conditions rarely lasting fifteen years. A trust removes the temptation to dip into education savings for other needs, ensuring long‑term commitment even when short‑term pressures arise.
If you have young children, multiple kids, or want education funds part of your estate plan, you might consider a trust. You do not need to be wealthy; consistent contributions over time matter.
