President Muhammadu Buhari have commissioned The Kaduna Inland Dry Port, the first proper Inland Dry Port to be completed among the seven approved across the country.
His words: Today is a landmark day for our importers and exporters. The Kaduna Inland Dry Port is the first proper Inland Dry Port to be completed among the seven approved across the country. Six others — in Ibadan, Aba, Kano, Jos, Funtua and Maiduguri — are at various stages of completion. I congratulate the Kaduna State Government, the Federal Ministry of Transportation, and the Nigerian Shippers’ Council.
And let me specially commend the initiative of the Shippers’ Council, and the Kaduna Government for facilitating the establishment of the Port by providing access roads and other utilities.
Our Customs and Ports officials must now make the Kaduna Inland Dry Port work. They must not frustrate business, commercial and industrial enterprises with unnecessary bureaucracy and delays. Our ‘ease of doing business’ attitude must be visible; we must make this Port work.
