Halal Investment Options In Nigeria — Grow Your Wealth The Halal Way

In today’s Nigeria, you can grow your money without compromising your faith.

From the Nigerian Exchange (NGX) to apps like Afrinvest and Cowrywise, there are now multiple Shariah-compliant (Halal) investment options available for Muslims and ethically conscious investors.

Here’s a breakdown 👇

⿡ Halal Stocks on NGX

Invest directly in companies that meet Islamic finance criteria — free from interest-based banking, gambling, alcohol, and other non-halal activities.

You can find these through the NGX-Lotus Islamic Index (NGX-LII) — a dedicated index tracking Shariah-compliant stocks listed on the Nigerian Exchange screened by a Shari’ah board.

💡 Examples of top-performing Shariah-compliant equities are included in this index and can be accessed via brokers that trade NGX stocks. Currently, there are 11 companies in this index: Dangote Cement, Jaiz Bank, Bua Foods, MTN, NAHCO, NASCON, Lafarge, Aradel, Okomu Oil Palm, etc. There’s no minimum investment amount for these stocks. 

⿢ Halal Exchange Traded Fund (ETF)

An Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) is a basket of securities—like stocks or bonds—pooled into a single investment that trades on an exchange like a stock, allowing investors to buy and sell shares throughout the day while enjoying diversification and low fees.

🔹 Lotus Halal Equity ETF (LOTUSHAL15)

• Managed by Lotus Capital Limited

• Tracks the NSE Lotus Islamic Index (NSE-LII)

• Invests in screened Nigerian companies following Islamic principles

• Accessible via any broker or app connected to NGX, like Meristem/Cowrywise, United Capital, etc.

⿤ Sukuk (Islamic Bonds)

A bond is a certificate representing a debt where an investor lends money to a borrower (like a government or company) in exchange for periodic interest payments and the repayment of the principal on a maturity date.

A Sukuk is an Islamic financial certificate that represents fractional ownership in a tangible asset or business venture, providing the holder with a share of the profits or rental income generated by that asset instead of interest.

If you prefer fixed, predictable returns, these halal bonds are great:

🇳🇬 FGN Sukuk (Government Islamic Bond)

• Offered by Debt Management Office (DMO)

How to Start Investing (Step-by-Step)

⿡ Choose your halal option (Stocks, ETF, Sukuk, or Mutual Fund)

⿢ Confirm it’s Shariah-certified (all listed above are screened)

⿣ Open an account via the fund manager, Afrinvest, Cowrywise, Meristem, United Capital, etc.

⿤ Provide your ID & BVN for KYC. You may choose to wait until your brokerage account is created within about 48 hours with CSCS (account number with the broker) number and CHN (brokerage BVN). You can open many brokerage accounts with different brokers and CSCS (Central Securities Clearing System) numbers, but your CHN (Clearing House Number) should remain the same.

⿥ Fund your account and start earning ethical, halal returns

AFIT, NDA & ABU-DLC: Exploring Nigeria’s Silent Academic Giants Beyond ASUU Strikes

Yesterday, after sharing my reflections on my son Muhammad’s matriculation into 100 Level, B.Eng. Aerospace Engineering at the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT), Kaduna, many readers reached out to know more about this unique and not-so-popular institution. Their curiosity prompted me to write this post, not just about AFIT, but also about two other equally outstanding institutions — the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) and Ahmadu Bello University Distance Learning Centre (ABU-DLC) — that are redefining higher education in Nigeria in quiet but remarkable ways.

1️⃣ Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT), Kaduna

AFIT’s story is both inspiring and instructive. It began in 1977 as the NAF Technical Service School (TSS), was upgraded in 2004 to award OND (Ordinary National Diploma), and was renamed AFIT in 2008. For years, it awarded OND and HND qualifications until 2017, when it transitioned into a degree-awarding institution, now offering undergraduate, postgraduate diploma (PGD), and master’s programs in engineering, computing, and sciences.

Both civilian students and military officers are admitted, though the officers mostly pursue OND and HND programs.

Pros

✅ No ASUU strikes! Although it’s a public institution, AFIT is not affected by ASUU actions. Some graduates claim that AFIT covers nearly three semesters in a single year, allowing students to graduate faster than their peers elsewhere. Whether or not this is fully accurate, one thing is certain — steady academic progress and timely graduation are guaranteed.

I recall my undergraduate years at Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) between 1999 and 2004 — a period that witnessed a cumulative 16 months of ASUU strikes, delaying our graduation by over a year. Imagine the relief of knowing that your child’s education won’t be interrupted!

✅ Affordable tuition: AFIT’s fees are comparable to those of other public universities. For instance, I paid ₦116,000 for Muhammad’s registration and ₦20,000 for the acceptance fee.

Cons

❌ Highly competitive: This year, only candidates who scored 200 and above in JAMB were invited for the post-UTME. For Aerospace Engineering, the cutoff was around 240 (60%), derived from the combined average of UTME and post-UTME scores. It’s arguably AFIT’s most competitive course.

❌ Name confusion: Some hesitate because it’s called an institute, not a university. But remember, the world’s top-ranked university — Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) — also doesn’t carry “university” in its name. The name does not define the quality.

AFIT currently has four faculties — Air Engineering, Ground Engineering, Computing, and Sciences.

Courses like Aerospace Engineering, which combines both Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering, are offered — a program even the great ABU does not have yet.

When Muhammad told me he wanted to study Aeronautical Engineering, and we couldn’t find it anywhere close by, I advised him to choose Aerospace Engineering instead. It’s broader, more versatile, and aligns perfectly with his passion.

💡 A word to parents: please don’t force your children into fields they are not interested in. Instead, expose them to multiple disciplines — medicine, law, engineering, computing, sciences, business, etc. — and let them choose their own paths. Guide, don’t dictate. Many bright minds lose their passion because they were compelled to chase their parents’ dreams, especially medicine, not their own.

2️⃣ The Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), Kaduna

Many people think NDA is exclusively a military training ground — but that’s an outdated assumption. Today, NDA is a full-fledged university with five faculties, offering undergraduate and postgraduate (Master’s and PhD) programs to both military officers and civilians.

Its faculties include Engineering, Sciences, Military Science, Arts & Social Sciences, and Management Sciences.

Like AFIT, NDA does not experience ASUU strikes, making it a dependable institution for uninterrupted learning.

Interestingly, NDA offers some unique programs not available in other public universities — for instance, Psychology, which even ABU does not offer at the undergraduate level.

👉 For more details, visit: https://nda.edu.ng/

3️⃣ Ahmadu Bello University Distance Learning Centre (ABU-DLC)

This is another innovative model under the prestigious ABU. The Distance Learning Centre (DLC) allows students to study from home — through video lectures, WhatsApp sessions, and weekend online classes — while writing exams physically at centers across Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, the UK, Dubai, and more.

It offers both undergraduate and master’s degrees, including programs in Economics, Business Administration, Nursing Science, Computer Science, and the popular MBA.

A beautiful feature of the ABU-DLC program is that its certificates are identical to those issued to regular students — there’s no mention of “distance learning” on them.

Pros

✅ No ASUU strikes.

✅ Accelerated study pace: You cover three semesters per year, which means a 4-year program can be completed in less than 3 years.

Cons

❌ Cost structure: It may seem more expensive since students pay per course, but compared to private universities, it’s still very affordable — especially for working professionals who can study flexibly.

Final Thoughts

Nigeria’s higher education system still offers hidden gems for those who seek quality, stability, and flexibility. AFIT, NDA, and ABU-DLC stand out as models of what’s possible — institutions that combine public accountability with private-sector efficiency, all while remaining accessible to ordinary Nigerians.

For me, this journey feels like a full circle — from a young undergraduate who entered ABU with the lowest JAMB score in my class but graduated at the top, to now watching my son walk confidently into AFIT to begin his own engineering dream.

May Allah continue to guide our children, bless their efforts, and grant them success that will surpass ours.

Addendum

I just confirmed that NDA opens its undergraduate courses to cadets only.

From Grass to Grace: A Father’s Reflection on His Son’s Matriculation

Today, my heart is overflowing with emotions. My beloved son, Muhammad, has just been matriculated into 100 Level, B.Eng. Aerospace Engineering at the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT), Kaduna. Watching him take this remarkable first step into his future fills me with both pride and nostalgia — it has taken me back more than 26 years, to the day I myself was matriculated into B.Eng. Water Resources and Environmental Engineering at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, in 1999.

That moment in 1999 remains one of the most defining experiences of my life — and it was nothing short of a miracle. I can never forget how it all began. Just two days before my JAMB examinations, I fell seriously ill — struck by stomachache and diarrhea that left me weak and helpless. Somehow, I still managed to drag myself to the exam hall at Alhudahuda College. I struggled through English and Chemistry, barely touched Mathematics, and didn’t even open the Physics section. By all human reasoning, I had failed before I began.

But Allah’s mercy is beyond comprehension. When the results came out, I was stunned to see 30 points in Physics, and the other subjects making up an aggregate of 180 — the exact minimum score required for university admission. It remains one of the lowest JAMB scores ever admitted into ABU that year. Yet, with that “impossible” score, I made it into the second admission list of the 1998–1999 session.

And the story didn’t end there — with that humble beginning, I went on to graduate at the top of my class, another miracle that could only have been made possible by Allah’s grace. Indeed, my journey has been a living testimony of the saying, “From grass to grace.”

Looking back today, as I watch my son take his first steps on his own academic journey, I am filled with gratitude. Alhamdulillah for Allah’s unfailing mercy, for the unseen hands that lifted me when I could not stand, and for every stage of grace that has followed since.

I can humbly say that by Allah’s mercy, I have fulfilled all my life ambitions. Yet, my greatest joy today is to see my children beginning their own journeys with hope, faith, and purpose.

So, as I celebrate Muhammad’s matriculation, my heart overflows with dua — that Allah, the Most Merciful, grants him the same divine grace that carried me through, and blesses him to fulfill his ambitions just as I have fulfilled mine. And may this prayer extend to his 10 younger siblings, that each of them may find success, peace, and purpose in all their endeavors.

Indeed, when Allah decrees a thing, He only says to it: “Be,” and it is.

Alhamdulillah for His mercy, guidance, and grace that never ends.

I’m Not a Stock Market Expert — Just a Curious Engineer on a Journey of Financial Discovery

After my recent article encouraging people to consider investing in stocks, I received several messages from individuals asking me to mentor them in stock investing. That really humbled me — but let me be honest with you: I am not a stock market expert.

By profession, I am an academic and a civil engineer, specializing in environmental and water resources engineering. My journey into the stock market didn’t begin with any formal financial background — it began with curiosity.

In May 2024, I decided to start buying a few shares, not with the intention of becoming an investor overnight, but simply to experiment — to test whether it’s really possible to diversify income through passive means.

Eight months later, when I checked the values of those shares, I was pleasantly surprised. Some had grown between 17% and 84% — without me lifting a finger! After a full year, a few of them had appreciated by more than 400%, with an average gain of about 100%.

That experience completely changed my perception of the stock market. I realized that while it’s not a “get-rich-quick” system, it rewards patience, observation, and informed decision-making.

So, in September 2025, I made a personal decision: to study the stock market seriously — not as a trader, but as a lifelong learner who loves to understand how systems work with the hope of becoming an investor.

Every day, I now take time to monitor stock movements, study charts, and try to understand how numbers rise and fall in response to:

•⁠  ⁠Investor sentiments

•⁠  ⁠Government policies

•⁠  ⁠Company reports and earnings

•⁠  ⁠Market corrections and global trends

I’ve also developed an interest in understanding how professionals use upside and downside potentials to issue BUY, SELL, or HOLD recommendations. I try to identify their strengths and practical limitations, and how these metrics evolve based on market realities.

To enrich my understanding, I regularly:

✅ Attend paid webinars hosted by expert traders and stockbrokers

✅ Watch YouTube channels that simplify investing concepts

✅ Read financial reports, analyses, and commentaries from credible sources

All of this, not because I want to become a professional stock analyst — but because I believe that financial literacy is no longer optional. Whether you’re an engineer, teacher, doctor, or student, you owe it to yourself to understand how money works, how it grows, and how to make it work for you.

The stock market may look intimidating at first, but with consistency, curiosity, and a learning mindset, it becomes one of the most rewarding classrooms you can ever enter.

So, no, I am not an expert — but I am a student of the market, and every day brings a new lesson worth learning.

When Engineering Meets Accounting: My Humbling Encounter with Debit and Credit

When you study a science or an applied science-based discipline like engineering, you often develop a subtle tendency to look down on non-science-based courses such as business, arts, or humanities. You feel, perhaps unconsciously, that since you’ve survived the “hard stuff,” everything else should be easier to grasp.

But life has a way of humbling us.

While it’s true that sharp and versatile minds can pick up concepts from outside their domains quite easily, I must confess — venturing into non-science territories hasn’t been that easy for me. Yet, in this complex and interconnected world, thriving requires at least a basic understanding of ideas drawn from multiple disciplines.

Recently, my growing interest in the stock market has pushed me to explore business news, company financial reports, and market analyses more deeply. That curiosity led me to take a closer look at economics and accounting fundamentals — and that’s where I met my match! 😅

One of the most basic accounting concepts — debit and credit — that I thought I already understood from my bank alerts suddenly became confusing in the accounting world. In banking, when money leaves my account, it’s shown as a debit; when money enters, it’s a credit. Simple, right?

But in an accounting balance sheet, these terms take on an entirely different meaning! Now I’m scratching my head trying to reconcile my “bank alert understanding” with the “T-table accounting reality.”

So, my dear friends in accounting and business — I officially call for reinforcements! 😂

Please come to my rescue and help me harmonize these two worlds of debit and credit.

The journey of learning never ends — and sometimes, it takes stepping outside your comfort zone to realize how much there’s still to learn.

Yes, I’m Back to Encourage You to Invest in Stocks

Before anything else, let me be clear — this is not financial advice. I’m only sharing some mind-blowing experiences I’ve gathered from closely monitoring the stock market from September to date.

I’m not a big investor. In fact, earlier this year (January), I wrote an article sharing my six-month experience of simply observing how stocks behave. But something happened in August that reignited my curiosity — a friend told me that some stocks can actually appreciate by more than 50% in just three months.

Honestly, that sounded like a scam to me. I mean, I know stocks can double (or more) in a year, but 50% in three months? That felt like a stretch.

So, I decided to test it myself — monitoring stock prices daily to verify his claim. And guess what? The reality turned out to be even more shocking than what my friend said.

👉 I found out that some stocks can surge over 50 to 100% in just one month!

👉 Some have even soared over 600% in just 9 months!

These aren’t random numbers — they’re real figures drawn from actual stock performance data in January, August, and September, as well as top gainers from January to September this year. Don’t take my words for it. Carefully study each of these factual figures yourself.

Of course, prices fluctuate daily — some rise while others fall — but with patience, discipline, and the right knowledge of fundamentals and technicals, the stock market can reward you beyond imagination.

The key is simple: choose wisely and think long-term.

With the right mindset, your money can literally start working for you while you sleep.

So, if you’ve been sitting on the sidelines, this might be your reminder:

The earlier you start learning and investing, the earlier you can start earning from the power of compounding growth.

Two Touchpad Shortcuts I Wish I Had Known Earlier

Getting my first MacBook opened my eyes to something I completely overlooked on my old Windows laptop — two-finger gestures!

1️⃣ Two-finger scroll – Instead of dragging the side scroll bar, you can simply slide two fingers up or down on the touchpad.

2️⃣ Two-finger pinch to zoom – Just like on a phone screen, you can pinch in or out to zoom on documents, browsers, or images.

These two simple shortcuts have completely changed how I use my laptop. In fact, they’ve made me stop missing my Samsung touchscreen — the touchpad feels just as intuitive now!

If you’re still unaware of these gestures (like I was 😅), take a few minutes to learn and practice them properly. Trust me, once you get used to it, your touchpad experience will feel fantastic — and you might even find using a mouse less appealing.

How Mathematics Saved My Suitcase

By: Dr. Salihu Lukman

 

When I checked in my suitcase for an air journey with two transits and three different aircraft, I thought the only challenges ahead would be the layovers. I was wrong. Upon arrival, I reached for my suitcase and discovered that two of its three coded locks would not open. Somewhere in the chaos of luggage handling, the preset codes I had chosen were mysteriously altered.

Panic was my first companion. The suitcase was quality, expensive, and filled with valuable items. My options? Force the locks open — which would almost certainly ruin the case — or think my way out of this.

That’s when my practical knowledge of mathematics came to the rescue. I recalled the concept of permutations with repetition:

If you have n possible digits and r positions, the total possible arrangements are n^r (n raised to the power of r).

 

For my 3-digit locks:

10^3=1000 possible combinations, from 000 to 999

 

 

Let me break this point further using the probability concept. For a 3-digit lock with codes from 000 to 999, there are 1,000 equally likely possibilities, so the chance of hitting the correct code on your very first try is just 1 in 1,000 (0.1%). If you test codes systematically without repeating any, the probability of success increases evenly with each attempt — after 100 unique tries, you have a 10% chance, after 500 tries it’s 50%, and by the time you reach 999 tries you are certain to succeed on the last one.

 

Instead of aimlessly spinning numbers, I approached the task with systematic precision — cycling through combinations in an orderly sequence, ensuring no possibility was missed, and focusing on efficiency. It was the correction permutation method in action. Within a surprisingly short time, both altered locks clicked open.

 

I saved the locks. I saved the suitcase. But more than that, I had a moment of deep appreciation for the elegance of mathematics.

 

People often see mathematics as abstract or distant from daily life, but it is the very language of the universe. From the arrangement of petals on a flower, to the trajectory of planets, to the decoding of a lock on a suitcase — mathematics quietly governs the rules. The permutations I used that day are the same principles behind encryption systems, genetic sequencing, and even the way nature explores possibilities in its patterns.

 

That moment reminded me: mathematics is not just about numbers. It is a tool for survival, understanding, and mastery in the world around us.

 

So the next time someone tells you, “I’ll never use this in real life,” tell them about my suitcase. Tell them how numbers kept me from destroying something precious. Tell them mathematics is not just in the classroom — it’s in the locks we open, the journeys we take, and the universe we live in.

 

My Daughters, Maryam and Halima, Led the Charge to Victory at the STEM Creativity Festival 6.0!

 By: Dr. Salihu Lukman

The STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics) Creativity Festival 6.0 was an absolute triumph, and my heart is overflowing with pride for my daughters, Maryam and Halima, both SS1 students! Alongside their brilliant teammates, Abdulwasiu and Muhammad, from the Kids Coding & Robotics program of BT-Hub Zaria, they didn't just participate; they dominated the competition, ultimately securing the Overall 1st Position!

 

Astonishing Presentation of Their Innovation

On 3 June 2025, at Yar'adua Hall, Murtala Square in Kaduna City, Edunoid AI Team (representing BT-Hub) showcased their innovation: the EDUNOID AI TEACHER – Your Humanoid Teacher for Quality Education. This isn't just a concept; it's a functional robot, built using Arduino kits and powered by a Large Language Model (LLM) AI, existing as both a humanoid and application software.

Watch her presentation here: https://youtu.be/D2AvOQPDPn0

Imagine a robot that can:

• Teach and answer academic questions across various subjects.
• Act as an interactive peer, combating loneliness and promoting positive interactions.
• Serve as a digital guardian and counselor, offering personalized advice and support.

This is the future our children are building!

The competition was fierce, with esteemed institutions like Ahmadu Bello University, Nuhu Bamalli Polytechnic, and the Nigeria Defence Academy, along with numerous other schools, hubs, and startups, vying for top honors. But it was our children, and my daughter Maryam, as the team lead, who truly captivated the judges. Her presentation of the Edunoid AI Teacher was nothing short of astonishing. One judge was so mesmerized that he exclaimed, "You are answering like an AI!" – a testament to Maryam's clarity, confidence, and profound understanding of their creation.

 

A Day of Immense Pride: The Award Ceremony

Yesterday, in commemoration of World Youth Skills Day, I had the immense joy of attending the award ceremony with their mothers. To see Maryam and Halima, two of the four BT-Hub team members, step forward to receive their well-deserved awards from Kaduna State’s Honorable Commissioner for Youth was an emotional and unforgettable moment. Their hard work, dedication, and boundless creativity were officially recognized on a grand stage.

Watch Maryam's presentation on the stage here: https://youtu.be/FWwfrWTocoA
