Zakat Distribution in the Context of Shari‘ah Corporate Governance: Evidence From South-Western Nigeria
Abstract
History of Zakat in Nigeria is not uniform across various regions of the country. Ever before the invasion of the colonialists to the northern part of the country, its collection and disbursement were largely in the hands of the Emirs. This was not the case in the south-western region where Zakat was not given the desired attention by the Muslims and did not win the support of the rulers for proper administration. In the post-colonial Nigeria, Zakat administration in the northern part of the country received a boost consequent upon the re-introduction of Shari'ah legal system to some states in the region. While state governments support its collection and disbursement through agencies set up for the purpose, this is not the case in the southwestern region where no government is involved. This chapter sought to evaluate Zakat distribution in south-western states of Nigeria with a view to determining how compliant with Shari'ah the entire process is.
