Tijjani Usman MuhammadThe Dala Inland Dry Port (DIDP) has dismissed reports alleging that the family of former Kano State Governor and immediate past National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, are shareholders in the company.
In a statement issued on Wednesday and signed by the Company Secretary, Barr. Adamu Aliyu Sanda, the organisation described the reports as “false, misleading, and politically motivated,” insisting that neither Ganduje’s family nor the Kano State Government has any stake in the port project.
“The claim that members of the Ganduje family are shareholders or directors in Dala Inland Dry Port is entirely false. Verified records from the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and official board resolutions clearly show that no member of the Ganduje family has ever been a shareholder, director, or signatory in Dala Inland Dry Port,” said Sanda.
