Radda Begs FG To Extend Zaria Rail.
Katsina Governor Dikko Umar Radda has called on the
Federal Government to extend the current rail and gas pipelines operating from
Zaria to Funtua so it can connect the Funtua Inland Dry Port to other major
economic centers.
This, he said, will enhance full functionality of the
newly commissioned Funtua Inland Dry Port.
The Governor made the appeal at the official
commissioning of the Inland Dry Port by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The President, who was represented by the Secretary to
the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, said the rail line was
vital for transportation and would reduce cost and facilitate the efficient
movement of goods from the dry port.
Radda further stated that his administration has
developed strategic economic plans by establishing a State Enterprise
Development Agency and an Economic Council, all geared towards repositioning
the state’s economy.
He urged the regulatory agencies at the port to exhibit
understanding and professionalism as well as collaborate to ensure efficient
operations.
