Sterling Bank to Host Non-interest Banking Lecture

Sterling Bank Plc says it is hosting a lecture on non-interest banking as part of its continuous bid to sensitize the public about opportunities in various financing options.

Themed “Reducing poverty and unemployment through non-interest banking”, the event will take place in Kano on January 15, according to a statement by the lender.

“This is part of the bank’s commitment to further deepen the awareness and public enlightenment of alternative finance or non-interest banking in Nigeria,” it added.

The Executive Director, Finance, and Strategy, Sterling Bank, Mr. Abubakar Suleiman, said the bank would continue to intensify efforts to sell the Sterling Alternative Finance offerings to customers and prospects while remaining a reference institution in the area of non-interest banking.

The Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, is expected to headline the public lecture as the Royal father of the day while Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State will be the special guest of honor.

The statement noted that seasoned scholars and policymakers on all aspects of non-interest banking would present papers and make valuable contributions to the discourse.

These include Secretary to the CBN, Dr. Bashir Umar; Dean, Faculty of Arts and Islamic Studies, Bayero University Kano, Prof. Suleiman Karwai; and Dr. Ahmad Dogarawa of the Accounting Department of the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.

Others are Dr. Aliyu Thahir of the International Institute of Islamic Banking and Finance; Dr. Basheer Oshodi, and the Group Head, NIB, Sterling Bank, Mr. Abdullahi Lamido.

Sterling Bank commenced non-interest banking in 2013 when the CBN granted it the license to operate the window.

Hi, fellow NairaLanders.
I seriously need help from you guys.
I noticed that any month in which we have seriously bad electric supply, the PHCL/NEPA staff brings bills that’s not like the usual type. It looks like photocopy from the suppose original one. They probably make this photocopies and distribute (without the consent of the management). They say “the printing machine is faulty”. This happens whenever we had a month of very bad power supply, like last December.
Pls. what do I do. I believe something illegal is on.
