Governor Nasir El Rufai has
revealed plans to send a delegate to Niger Republic to convince them to use
Kaduna Inland Dry Port instead of Lagos Port.
Speaking on Tuesday during
the ceremony for the commencement of cargo delivery by rail to the Kaduna
Inland Dry Port, El Rufai said:
We are very grateful
today’s event has opened a new vista of commercial opportunities, not only for
northern businessmen but even for our neighbouring countries.
“I intend to send a
delegation to the Republic of Niger to sensitise the government of that country
on the opportunities of receiving their goods in Kaduna instead of Lagos and
having to truck them, as well as any of their exports from Kaduna port to any
part of the world.
You can ship your goods
directly from Kaduna to any part of the world and you can also import goods
from any part of the world directly to Kaduna without your containers or any of
your goods being opened up for inspection in Lagos.”
He also attested to the
functioning of the Inland port due to the transportation of goods from there to
Lagos via railway lines.
