The Federal Government says it intends to revive the moribund Kaduna Textile to boost the economy of the country.

The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Sen. George Akume made this known at a 2-Day Interactive Session on Government-Citizens Engagement on Tuesday in Kaduna.

The event with the theme “Assessing Electoral Promises: Fostering Government-Citizens Engagement for National Unity’’, was organised by Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Akume is the leader of federal government delegation which consists of all the appointees of President Bola Tinubu from the Northern part of the country.

According to Akume, Tinubu’s desire to develop all parts of Nigeria is sacrosanct and a task that must be achieved.

“Tinubu is doing a lot in about eight different areas to ensure that Nigeria experience holistic development in all spheres of endeavours.

“The Tinubu administration intends to industrialised the country through diversification. We are looking at those days of Kaduna Textile and many other industrialised areas in the north.

“We intend to revisit those good old days of the Kaduna Textile to further boost and solidify the economy of the country via industrialisation.

“These and many more will be achieved by the administration of Tinubu, who after two years and two months in office has achieved so much,” Akume said.

NAN reports that those in attendance include Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, Women Affairs, Hajiya Imaam Suleiman-Ibrahim, Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa.

Others are the Managing Director of NAN, Malam Ali M. Ali, the Chairman of National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, retired Brig-Gen. Buba Marwa among others (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
