BUILDING KATSINA BEYOND 2027: OPENING NEW DOORS FOR TRADE
Katsina is taking another step towards becoming a stronger trade and logistics hub in Northern Nigeria and the wider Sahel.
The Funtua Inland Dry Port is moving closer to expanded operations following the inaugural meeting of its Board of Directors on 27 August 2026, alongside the formalisation of the Katsina State Government’s 20% equity stake in the project.
The idea is simple: bring shipping and customs services closer to businesses, reduce the cost and stress of moving goods, speed up cargo clearance and make it easier for local producers and traders to reach bigger markets.
For farmers, manufacturers, traders and young entrepreneurs, better trade infrastructure can mean more business, more jobs and more opportunities.
This is part of the bigger vision of #BuildingKatsinaBeyond2027—putting the infrastructure in place today to unlock Katsina’s economic potential tomorrow.
Connecting markets. Expanding opportunities. Building Katsina’s future.

BUILDING KATSINA BEYOND 2027: CONNECTING KATSINA TO REGIONAL AND GLOBAL TRADE
The Funtua Inland Dry Port is advancing from vision to expanded operations after its Board of Directors’ inaugural meeting on 27 August 2026 and Katsina State Government’s formal 20% equity stake.
This supports Governor Dikko Umaru Radda’s government-enabled, private sector-led economic agenda. By bringing shipping and customs services closer to the state, the port aims to cut transport costs, speed cargo clearance, boost Sahel regional trade, and widen market access.
The larger goal is economic opportunity: attracting investment, creating jobs, raising incomes, and opening new pathways for farmers, traders, manufacturers, and young people.
This is Building Katsina Beyond 2027—building the infrastructure now to make Katsina a competitive trade and logistics gateway for Northern Nigeria and the wider Sahel.
Connecting markets. Expanding trade. Creating opportunities. Building the future.

BUILDING KATSINA BEYOND 2027: BUILDING THE SCHOOLS OF TOMORROW, TODAY
The future of Katsina's children will be determined not only by how many schools we build, but by the quality of the learning environment we create for them.

As a citizen of Katsina, I must commend Governor Dikko Umar Radda for the attention his administration is giving to education.
The Radda Model Smart School is more than just a new building. It is an investment in our children and in the future of Katsina. Giving students access to better facilities, qualified teachers and modern learning opportunities can make a real difference in their lives.
There is still a lot more to be done, but these are the kind of investments that deserve recognition. If we want a better Katsina beyond 2027, we must start preparing our children for that future today.
Well done, Governor Radda. Our children deserve nothing less.
