Governor Dikko Umaru Radda has appealed to the Federal Government to rehabilitate the rail line from Zaria to Funtua to connect the Funtua Inland Dry Port to other major economic centres in Nigeria.
Governor Radda made the appeal at the official commissioning of the Funtua Inland Dry Port port performed by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, on behalf of President Bola Tinubu at Funtua on Thursday. According to the Katsina governor, the rail line is vital for transportation and would reduce costs and facilitate the efficient movement of goods from the dry port.
This would ensure more industrial growth and boost the economy generally, he said. Governor Radda noted 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 in their work and collaborate to ensure efficient operations.
