Abstract

Background of study: This study examines the advantages, difficulties, and prospective advancements of Waqf in bolstering primary healthcare services in Gombe State's rural regions. Waqf, an Islamic endowment for social welfare, has long provided funding for healthcare and education, but its ability to provide rural health care is still restricted.Aims and scope of paper: The study intends to evaluate the role Waqf institutions play in primary healthcare and offer solutions for enhancing their sustainability and effectiveness in rural Nigeria.Methods: Qualitative and quantitative data were combined in a mixed-methods approach. Structured interviews and questionnaires with Waqf administrators, healthcare providers, legislators, and community members were used to collect primary data. Official reports, pertinent literature, and case studies of effective Waqf-based healthcare projects were examples of secondary data. The data was interpreted using thematic analysis and descriptive statistics.Result: The results show that Waqf institutions build facilities, offer subsidized medical services, and help staff in order to give vital healthcare support. Their efficacy is hampered by issues like low public knowledge, shoddy legislative frameworks, erratic funding, inadequate asset management, and little cooperation with government organizations. Important suggestions include bolstering relationships, strengthening legal and policy frameworks, and promoting financial sustainability through investment.Conclusion: According to the study's findings, Waqf can be a long-term source of finance for rural healthcare with effective management, lowering reliance on government and outside assistance while fostering fair access to healthcare throughout Gombe State.

Abstract

This paper seeks to examine the opportunities and challenges posed by the ?al?l industry in Nigeria and its certification according to laws. It provides a comprehensive review of the sector, outlining its structure, current state, potential for growth and the intimidating challenges in the operational and legal circle. ?al?l 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. The paper draws data from both primary and secondary sources; obtained from interviews, industry literature, government laws and reports. The paper highlights legal provision of halal industry in Nigeria, the latent and patent opportunities in the industry such as expanding the production of locally grown food, creating economic linkages, developing an export market, booming tourism and hospitality sectors; and thus become a major source of employment in the country. However, a number of challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, insufficient access to finance, and a lack of regulatory framework could hamper the growth of the industry; and therefore, need to be addressed. With the proper policy interventions and investment, the ?al?l industry in Nigeria has the potential to create significant economic, social, and environmental benefits.
