Abstract

This study investigates the feasibility of restoring waqf-based endowments as a long-term method for improving teacher education and training in Northern Nigeria. Drawing on historical and present waqf models, the research investigates how this Islamic philanthropic organization might solve teacher shortages, low training quality, and imbalances in educational service delivery.  The study employs a qualitative research methodology that includes document analysis, expert interviews, and case studies from various Islamic institutions.  The findings show that waqf has historically played an important role in financing education in Muslim communities, but it has fallen due to colonial interruptions, legal limits, and a lack of public awareness. The research suggests that reviving and updating waqf through proper legislation, community participation, and integration with public-private partnerships can considerably improve the quality and accessibility of teacher training in underprivileged areas.  Recommendations are provided for government agencies, religious leaders, NGOs, and communities to collaborate in building waqf-based teacher education projects to reposition and assure sustainable teacher training in Northern Nigeria.

Abstract

Background of study: Ḥalāl industry is an emerging sector with great potential for growth and economic development in Nigeria. The large Muslim population is a driving factor that creates opportunities for its growth to improve the national economy. However, these opportunities, as well as the impeding challenges, have still been poorly understood.Aims and scope of paper: This paper seeks to examine the opportunities and challenges posed by the Ḥalāl industry in Nigeria. It provides a comprehensive review of the sector, outlining its structure, current state, potential for growth and the intimidating challenges.Methods: The paper draws data from both primary and secondary sources; obtained from interviews, industry literature, and government reports.Result: The results show that although Nigeria has a lot of promise because of its Muslim consumer base, agricultural products, and enterprising populace, the sector is still fragmented.  Lack of public knowledge, poor infrastructure, low adherence to international ḥalāl norms, and the absence of a national ḥalāl authority are some of the main obstacles.  However, prospects in export markets, agro-processing, Islamic financing assistance, youth-led entrepreneurship, and regional trade agreements like the AfCFTA.Conclusion: The research concludes that, driven by the large Muslim population in Nigeria, the ḥalāl industry has strong potential to boost economic growth through local production, greater exports, and tourism development.

Abstract

Background of study: This community-based study examines how Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) with Waqf can improve the quality of education in Islamic and secular schools in the rural community of Gombe, Nigeria.Aims and scope of paper: The main objective is to present a framework for integrating Islamic social finance into contemporary educational development, empowering communities to shape the direction of education in Nigeria. The focus of the study is on rural communities in Dukku, Balanga, and Yamaltu/Deba, Gombe.Methods: This study used a participatory approach, combining field surveys, focus groups, stakeholder interviews, and pilot intervention activities in several rural schools.Result: Through local Waqf Education Committees and collaboration with private education NGOs, the program has successfully supported teacher mentorship programs, distributed teaching supplies, and improved classroom facilities using funds and labor from Waqf.Conclusion: Findings show that the Waqf-PPP model is feasible and crucial for revitalizing rural educational institutions by addressing the root causes of poor-quality teaching. This study recommends scaling up similar models through state policy support, technical assistance for local Waqf organizations, and raising awareness among rural communities of the social impact of educational Waqf.
