INTRODUCING ISLAMIC BANKING AND FINANCE INSTITUTE NIGERIA
THE ISLAMIC Banking and Financial Service has been the
greatest modern innovation in the world of banking and finance. It is
now one of the fastest growing sectors of the financial market. It is
experiencing significant development; from being utilized only in a
handful of Muslim-majority countries, it has expanded into viable and
vibrant component of the global financial system.
The history of Islamic finance in Nigeria, in the formal sector, particularly banking, is recent. However, its potential is very high. This can be testified from the efforts of the Central Bank of Nigeria in releasing a Draft Framework for the Regulation and supervision of Non-Interest Banking system, as well as the positive pronouncements by Senior Officials of the Apex bank. Equally, the mutual cordial relationship between the Islamic Development Bank and the Federal Ministry of Finance is another testimony. Federal and State Institutions, as well as the private sector, especially Universal banks and Micro-finance banks/Primary Mortgage institutions, have all indicated interest in Islamic financing. Numerous seminars, symposium, conferences and workshops are frequently organized throughout the country.
