Emir of Kano, Malam Muhammad Sanusi II is expected to speak at an Islamic finance conference organized by the International Institute of Islamic Banking and Finance (IIIBF) at Bayero University, Kano. The Director of the institute, Binta Tijjani Jibril, said the conference would draw participants from within Nigeria as well as other countries such as the United States, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Indonesia and Egypt. She added that when the mayor of London came to Nigeria, he advised the government to embrace Islamic finance because of its benefits. Britain is competing with Malaysia to be the hub of Islamic finance in the world because they see it as good business not a religious issue.
