Halal Economic System: An Explorable Window to Niger State Rapid Economic Development

Abstract

Niger state is one of the largest states in terms of land mass in Nigeria. The land mass covers about 86000 km. Out of this land mass, 80  percent is arable but only 32 percent is currently put to cultivation. Over the years, the state has developmental plans which emphasized  the road maps to achieving economic development via empowering Nigerlites by providing a conducive environment for living, through wealth and employment creation opportunities in collaboration with development and public private partners among others. It is found  that these road maps however, match the provisions and opportunities that are there in the halal economic system. The study therefore,  recommends that the state embraces and embark on halal economic system as an easy channel to economic development and conclude  that leadership commitment to plan documents is a pointer to achieving economic development.
