The program, organized by the Islamic Finance Research Institute of Ghana (IFRIG) in collaboration with the Centre for Islamic Economics (CIE) at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), brought together financial professionals from Ghana, Nigeria, and beyond from June 22 to 26, 2026. Participants gained first-hand exposure to Malaysia's dual-banking system, Sukuk markets, and regulatory framework.
At the closing ceremony, Dr. Ali Shaibu, Executive Director of IFRIG and Deputy CEO of Trustmark Capital Ltd, urged participants to "be apostles of Non-Interest Banking." He emphasized that this is not a religious agenda but a financial model that can transform the country's financial system, being ethical, transparent, and for every Ghanaian. Dr. Shaibu added that capacity building is essential for implementation and that the model can be used for Ghana's financial system development while helping lift the population above the poverty line. Alhaji Attahiru Maccido, CEO and Managing Director of Trustmark Capital Ghana and a lead trainer, confirmed the program's objective.
