Halal Authority Certifies 100 Firms, 300 Products in Nigeria Over 8 Years

The Halal Certification Authority (HCA) in Nigeria has certified 100 companies and 300 products over eight years, led by Professor Ibrahim Oreagba. Nigeria lacks a specific governing body for halal regulation, prompting private bodies like HCA to step in.

The HCA seeks recognition from Jakim, Malaysia's halal regulatory body. The Islam Medical Association of Nigeria and Jakim's Muhammad Fahdi bin Moham Sobri emphasize the importance of aligning Nigeria's halal certification with global standards.
