Governor Nasir El-Rufai has disclosed his plans to send a delegation to tell the Niger Republic to begin using the Kaduna Inland Dry Port instead of using the seaports in Lagos State.
El-Rufai revealed this on Tuesday in the ceremony for the commencement of cargo delivery by rail to Kaduna through Inland Dry Port, in Kaduna.
He 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.”
