African Takaful Forum

The African Takaful (Islamic Insurance) Forum is taking place 6-7 March in Albuja, Nigeria, and is being organized by the AlHuda Centre of Islamic Banking & Economics (AlHuda CIBE). The event will be followed by a 2 day workshop on March 8-9 on takaful operations.

As one of the most developed countries in Africa, Nigeria has clear and strong economic potential and Takaful has the potential to become a strong segment of Nigeria’s life insurance sector. Takaful can be a platform for financial inclusion, not just for Muslims, but also for certain segments of the country’s Christian population. Takaful could also have a positive impact on insurance penetration overall. For this to happen, however, NAICOM believes more trust needs to be built for the takaful concept, especially among Nigeria’s Muslim population.

The objectives of the forum:

• Provide the thorough knowledge and benefits of Takaful industry in order to prepare adequate manpower

Analyze the problems hindering rapid development of Takaful in Nigeria that would help increasing financial inclusion

• Provide the opportunities for collaborations/partnerships with Takaful industry, Islamic retail, Corporate, SME and Treasury Bankers, Business Development Managers and Heads of Research and Development.
