Determined to boost the economy of Kano state, Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje is posed to make a powerful presentation of the economic benefits of Dala Dry Port at the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) Investment Summit, holding in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Recall that Governor Ganduje travelled to UAE to participate at an Investment Summit facilitated by the NGF, while handing over power to his Deputy, Dr. Yusuf Gawuna.
A statement issued by the state Commissioner for Information, Malam Muhammad Garba, on Thursday, indicated that during the Summit, Governor Ganduje is expected to make presentation in favour of the Dala Dry Port, with a view to attracting both foreign and local investment cum partnership.
Malam Garba said Governor Ganduje is billed to speak on the potentials of Dala Inland Dry Port (DIDP) for the state, the North and Nigeria on which also some neighbouring countries of Niger Republic, Cameroon, Tchad and Central Africa, have already indicated interest to fully patronize when it takes-off.
The Statement also added that, “on the sideline of the Forum, Ganduje is scheduled to meet with potential investors in the DIDP which is expected to result in the formalization of bilateral agreement for Nigeria’s economic development.”
