Collaboration Between Industry and Academia, Key To Developing Islamic Finance In Nigeria

Dr. Umar Oseni said that the collaboration between Islamic finance practitioners and academia will be vital to the development of Islamic Finance Law in Nigeria. Dr. Umar Oseni also said that western models dominate financial markets and that conventional banking has existed for over 200 years, while the Islamic finance reemerged towards the end of the last century with Tabung Hajji, West African Muslim Bank, and IsDB which was established in 1975 and this has brought improvement in the Islamic finance industry.
