Following the launch of Nigeria National Halal Economy Strategy, High Commissioner of Malaysia to Nigeria, Aiyub Omar, has urged Nigerian exporters and businesses to showcase their products and capabilities to the global market in the $3.5 trillion halal economy.
Omar said the 22nd edition of Malaysia International Halal Showcase, MIHAS 2026, was an ideal platform to support Nigeria’s aspiration of becoming a key player in the global halal economy.
Before now, Malaysia’s exports to Nigeria grew by 20.7 per cent in 2025, reaching $664 million, thereby strengthening bilateral trade ties and deepening economic engagement between the two countries. Also, total trade between Malaysia and Nigeria from January to March 2026 grew by 5.9 per cent.
