The Emir of Kano, Malam Muhammad
Sanusi 11, on Monday launched the first Islamic insurance company in Nigeria,
tagged ‘Jaiz Takaful Insurance’.
The Emir at the event in Kano
disclosed that the introduction of the system in Nigeria was a welcome
development to contribute towards boosting the country’s economy.
According to him, the policy,
which will be guided by Sharia, was not only for the Muslim, but also for non-Muslims
to ensure that its members were treated equally and fairly.
“The Insurance Scheme will assist
the small scale business people to replace their lost property, especially
whenever a disaster which we are not praying for has occurred,” the emir said.
“The scheme would assist the
registered members to replace their lost property, either due to fire outbreak
or accident, through their contributions,” Emir Sanusi added.
He further called on Gov.
Abdullahi Ganduje to register all the state’s property, especially vehicles and
houses, with the Takaful insurance company.

We hope that all government insurances will not be diverted to that company and that company alone.
