The GM/CEO of Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) Group, Mr. Ayman Sejiny (L) and the MD/CEO of TAJBank Ltd., Mr. Hamid Joda, after signing an MoU on infrastructure project financing in Nigeria held in El Sheikh, Egypt.
TAJBank Limited, Nigeria’s leading non-interest bank, in Egypt, signed a Memorandum of Understanding
(MoU) with the Islamic Corporation for the Development of the Private Sector (ICD), a member of the
Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) Group, aimed at attracting funding for major infrastructure projects in
Nigeria.
The MOU signing between TAJBank and the ICD is to express a convergence of will between both entities and build a relationship between the Nigerian lender and the international organization to explore avenues of financing key capital projects in the Country.
According to the bank’s board, the Sukuk will be offered in tranches of N10 billion each as soon as
regulatory approvals are secured.
Speaking on the MOU after the signing, TAJBank’s Managing Director/CEO, Mr. Hamid Joda, enthused:
“We are deeply delighted to have crossed another milestone with the signing of this MOU and especially
with the Islamic Corporation for the Development of the Private Sector (ICD), it only further buttresses
our intention of stimulating investments in critical sectors of the economy leading to national
development.
“As we all know, Nigeria has a huge infrastructure gap that requires funding through long-term funds
like that of the ICD”, Joda added.
In his remarks on the deal, the bank’s Executive Director, Mr. Sherif Idi, also expressed his joy over the
development, stressing that the signing of the MoU further demonstrates that “TAJBank is sustaining its
giant strides, and this is seen in this partnership as we hope to do more in securing investments that will
further bring about creation of jobs and production for better national advancement.”
TAJBank, a leading non-interest bank in the country, commenced operations about two years ago and
has accomplished several milestones, including expanding its branch network to 22 within its franchise
area during the period.
The non-interest banking services provider had a few days ago unveiled plans to launch a private sector
targeted N100 billion Sukuk programme under a Mudaraba structure that will afford it the opportunity
to grow its capital base and by so doing, position it on a strong pedestal to finance large and long-term
projects in Nigeria.
The ICD is a multilateral development financial institution under the IsDB saddled with the responsibility
of supporting the development of its member-countries through the provision of finance for private
sector projects, promoting competition and entrepreneurship and encouraging cross border
investments, amongst other key responsibilities.
