The consequences facing Nigeria if corruption is not tackled at this point in time are indeed very dire. This is why the Islamic Welfare Foundation, in collaboration with the International Institute of Islamic Thought, is devoting the 2016 edition of her annual Conference on Islam in Nigeria to unraveling the issue of corruption in Nigeria. The conference is intended to generate fresh insights that will improve understanding of the phenomenon and also facilitate the fashioning of effective solutions to the problem especially within the dictates of Islam. In consonance with our philosophy that religion, especially Islam, has a place in public life, the conference will discuss the issue of corruption in Nigeria from the Islamic perspective.
