The Nassarawa State government has forged a partnership with the Nigerian Shippers’ Council (NSC) to establish an Inland Dry Port (IDP) in the state, aiming to streamline export operations.
Barr. Pius Akutah, the NSC executive secretary, highlighted the economic benefits, including job creation and substantial revenue generation.
The collaboration comes as Nassarawa, a significant producer of sesame seeds, seeks to leverage an IDP to enhance its export capabilities.
“The governor has issued directives on how the project can be actualized for the benefit of shippers in the state,” stated Barr. Pius Akutah.
