The Federal Government has applauded Lotus Capital’s leadership in promoting non-interest finance in Nigeria.
Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr Wale Edun, gave the commendation on Tuesday in Abuja, when he received a high-level delegation from Lotus Capital Limited, led by its Managing Director Mrs. Hajara Adeola.
According to a statement by the Director, Information and Public Relations of the Ministry, Mohammed Manga, Edun emphasised that collaboration between the public and private sectors was essential to mobilising sustainable, long-term capital for national development.
The statement said the meeting explored ways of expanding Nigeria’s non-interest finance sector as a driver of inclusive economic growth.
It stated that discussions also centred on how initiatives such as a Non-Interest Real Estate Investment Fund and a regular sovereign sukuk issuance programme could attract ethical investment into critical infrastructure, boost market liquidity, and widen access to finance for under-served communities.
“The meeting underscores the Ministry’s commitment to exploring innovative financing solutions for Nigeria’s economic growth and development, highlighting the importance of public-private partnerships in driving progress in the non-interest finance sector,” the statement said.
