On Wednesday, the Federal Government will introduce a comprehensive strategy designed to elevate Nigeria's role in the $7 trillion global Halal economy. This market encompasses various sectors, including food and beverages, fashion, cosmetics, tourism, and fertilizers, all adhering to Islamic practices.
The initiative aims to boost Nigeria’s presence in the Halal industry, promoting a respectful and healthy lifestyle.
It also includes having restaurants and hotels with only Halal food, no alcohol served anywhere, hotels with prayer rooms, beaches and pools exclusive to women.
The project is part of initiatives to diversify the economy and tap into the burgeoning global Halal market- products and services that meet Islamic standards of permissibility and embody ethics, integrity, and universal values that resonate across cultures and regions.
