The Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria, MSSN said Nigeria will grow if its leaders are ready to apply principles of accountability and good governance.
MSSN stated this in a statement made available to newsmen by its Amir (president) in Lagos State, Mallam Saheed Ashafa.
The Amir pointed out that it was unfortunate that the country was not “progressing at desired rate because of her interest-based‎ economic policies and ’embarrassing’ laws” adding that “for Nigeria to bounce back fully from the effects of economic recession, non-interest banking should be made mandatory nationwide”.

“‎What matters most is shaping our environment and community to align with Allah’s shade. For Nigeria to develop, our system of government must follow that of Allah. We cannot stop suffering from the effects of recession and our policies will not beget favourable outcomes if we do not stop operating an economy that survives on interest – Ribaa” he said.
According to the MSSN Amir “we have to apply Islamic principles of accountability, governance and law for us to witness economic rejuvenation”.
“Government must also know that attempting to initiate certain laws is an embarrassment to this nation and mockery of the collective intelligence of the over 170 millions Nigerians in the country.”
The MSSN Amir however advised youths in Nigeria not to allow the present economic recession in the country to push them into crimes and criminal acts but rather use it to defend their rights.
“Youths seem to join the blame game instead of creating the games for others to follow. It is high time, I must say, we began to tackle issues critically as youths before the government ruin the nation beyond repair. Human form of leadership has definitely failed us; hence, there is a need to seek for Allah’s Shade”‎.
