Federal Government of Nigeria has toured Kaduna textile hubs (United Nigerian Textiles Limited (UNTL) and Chellco Industries).
PERISCOPE NIGERIA reports that the tour was geared towards reviving the cotton, garment sector.
The tour was led by the Minister of State for Industry, Trade and Investment, John Enoh, who was also accompanied by the MD of Bank of Industry, Dr. Olasupo Olusi.
During the tour, the Emir of Kano and Chairman of UNTL, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, decried the shutdown of the once-thriving factory in 2022, citing economic difficulties despite its track record of employing over 10,000 people across the value chain.
While touring Chellco Industries, one of the few resilient textile companies still operational since 1980, Enoh praised the company’s management for its perseverance through decades of economic challenges, noting that Chellco currently employs over 290 workers and remains a vital contributor to the local economy.
