The Minister of Transportation, Mu’azu Jaji Sambo, made the declaration.

In March 2006,  the Federal Executive Council approved the establishment of  the Funtua Container Freight Station, alongside other Inland Dry Ports across the country. The Funtua Container Freight Station was later converted to an Inland Dry Port and that this critical transport infrastructure is based on the strategic framework of Build, Own, Operate and Transfer( BOOT)

Speaking at the declaration ceremony, Mu’azu Sambo explained that the Funtua Inland Dry Port would be a Customs port in accordance with the provisions of the Customs and Excise Management Act, Cap. C45 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004 and would have all the prerequisites of an international port.

According to the Minister, the importance of Katsina State as the commercial domain in the Trans-Saharan trade route with huge agricultural produce and trade in local and export volumes, qualified the State for an Inland Dry Port.   

He said national and international maritime practitioners, shippers, shipping companies, landlocked countries and port users should take full advantage of the port for import and export of their cargoes.
