Since the end of the global financial crisis in 2008, the global Sukuk market has continued to experience impressive development. From $15 billion in 2008 to approximately $120 billion in 2014, annual issuances have been on the rise. The majority of Sukuk issuances saw oversubscription. For instance, in 2014, the UK sold a £200 million sovereign sukuk that drew an effective demand of £2.3 billion, an increase of 11.5 times. Sukuk volume from 587 instruments totalled $290 billion in 2015. Osun State issued a Sub-National Sukuk in 2013 for around $62 million (N11.4 billion) and a Sovereign Sukuk in 2017 for about $277.93 (N100 billion).[1]

In the article below, our Akhere Anenih and Fernandez Marcus Obiene discuss the nature of sukuk, its types, uses, and the legal framework for it generally and specifically in Nigeria.

In the past 60 years of independence of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Nigerian Bar Association, Lagos Branch has relentlessly been defending the Rule of Law, serving as the voice of the voiceless, building capacity, improving welfare of lawyers and setting the pace in advocacy and law reform.

Despite our collective efforts, there remains much to be done towards the realisation of the nation of our dreams.

Nigeria today faces new sets of challenges and the need for lawyers to live up to the expectations of the society we operate in cannot be overemphasized.

However, despite the challenging tides, we, as a nation, still have a lot to be thankful for.

As we celebrate Nigeria's independence today, I also celebrate the achievements of the Nigerian Bar Association, Lagos Branch and the nation-building efforts of its leadership in the past 60 years.

Happy Independence Day!
