Keywords:
legal framework, Islamic banking, Shariah governance, Shariah compliance, legal challengesAbstract
Many studies have been conducted on challenges of Islamic banking. However, most studies are based on general studies of Islamic banking. This paper focuses on the literature on the institutional and operational challenges of Islamic Banking in Nigeria. The paper employs a doctrinal method of legal research by conducting qualitative content analysis of primary and secondary sources of materials. The study finds that there are many gaps on the literature which this research aims at proving the link in order to promote the growth of the industry. The paper concludes that a sound and effective literature on Shariah governance will give confidence to the general public about Shariah conformity of Islamic Banking in Nigeria.
