CONTENT

Meaning of preservation of resources

Preservation is the process of keeping things for future use. Reserve preservation is the proper use of our resources, like money and other material resources.

 How people save their money in the locality and why

Money is very important. We use it to buy the food we eat and the books we read in school. We also use it to pay our school fees and to buy other things we need. Without money, the government cannot provide us with the essential services we need. Schools, hospitals, electricity and pipe-borne water are provided with money. This is why money should be saved for future use.

 How money was saved in the past

In the past, many people kept their money at home, especially under their beds.

Some dug up the floor of their houses and buried their money there. Some kept their money in such secret places as rocks, rooftops and shrines. Others kept their money, trinkets and other precious things in trunks and hollows of trees.

Modern ways of saving money

Nowadays, there are many safe places where money can be kept. Money can be kept with banks, thrift and credit societies, cooperative societies, insurance companies and mortgage houses. A person may also buy shares in a company. By doing so, the person becomes one of the owners of the company. This is another way of saving money. A little amount money can still be kept at home. It should not be more than the amount of money that we can use to buy food and other things we need at short notice.

If we do not keep some money in the house, we may have to go to the bank everyday to withdraw money for our need. This leads to waste of time and energy. Nowadays, however, we can withdraw money from any Automated Teller Machine (ATM) in any bank close to us for any urgent need, even on weekends and holidays. So we do not have to enter into the banking hall or wait until banks are opened to withdraw money. We withdraw money from ATM with our ATM cards, issued by Visa, Verve or Master Card.

 

Banking facilities in the locality

Keeping money in a commercial bank

We can keep or save money in a commercial bank. There are many commercial

banks in the country. Some of the commercial banks in Nigeria are the First

Bank of Nigeria, United Bank for Africa, Union Bank of Nigeria, Ecobank,

GTBank, Skye Bank and Zenith Bank.

We can open a savings account in any of the banks close to us. To open

an account, we will fill certain forms and put our usual signature. Then,

we will fill another form called a pay-in-slip or deposit slip. On this form, we

will fill in the amount of money with which we want to open the account.

The bank cashier  will then enter the amount in a computer and hand over a

duplicate copy of the slip to us. To pay in money, we will first fill in the pay-in-slip

and then write the correct

amount.

To withdraw money from our savings account, we will fill a withdrawal form or

slip and give it to the cashier who will take the amount from our account and give

us the money.

Banks also give interest on savings accounts. We can also open a current

account. Cheques are used to withdraw money from a current account.

Keeping money in a mortgage bank

People also save money in a mortgage bank. A mortgage bank is not a commercial

bank. If someone saves money in a mortgage bank, it is for a special purpose.

The mortgage bank helps people to save money, so that they can build their own

houses with the help of the bank.

People can open an account in any branch of a mortgage bank, and must save a

fixed amount of money in the bank every month. A person having an account in a

mortgage bank can apply for a loan to build a house.

If the cost of the house is, for example, three hundred thousand naira ($300000.00),

the person must have saved one-third of this amount before the bank can give

him or her two hundred thousand naira. This means that the bank lends the

person two-thirds of the cost of the house.

Other places where we can also keep our money are thrift and credit societies,

insurance companies, and cooperative societies.

How family size and income affect savings

A lot of money is needed to maintain a large family. For instance, money is needed to pay bills like house rents, electricity bills, water rate and school fees. Money is also needed to provide food, clothes and other items for the family.

When the family is too large, then it will be difficult to maintain such a family. Saving up some money, therefore, becomes difficult or even impossible. Also, one cannot save if the income realised in the family is little. Bad economy and decrease in the standard of living in our society can also make it difficult to maintain a large family. These things also prevent savings. Other causes of poor savings include:

1 Inability to manage income properly.

2 High level of spending.

3 Having too many financial obligations or responsibilities.

 Why we have to save money in modern ways

We must save money in modern ways for the following reasons:

1 We save money to earn interest or profit on it.

2 We save money to prevent it from being stolen by armed robbers or thieves.

3 We save money in order to make it possible to borrow large amounts of money.

4 We save money in order to have it for use when needed.
