BREAKING: FG Commences Revival Tour of Kaduna’s Textile Hubs – UNTL & Chellco Industries In a renewed effort to revive Nigeria’s cotton and garment industry, the Federal Government has begun a strategic tour of key textile hubs in Kaduna State, focusing on United Nigerian Textiles Limited (UNTL) and Chellco Industries. The inspection tour was led by the Minister of State for Industry, Trade and Investment, Sen. John Enoh, alongside the Managing Director of the Bank of Industry (BOI), Dr. Olasupo Olusi. During a stop at UNTL, the Emir of Kano and Chairman of the company, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, lamented the 2022 shutdown of the once-thriving factory due to harsh economic realities. He highlighted that at its peak, the textile giant provided employment to over 10,000 Nigerians across the value chain. At Chellco Industries, one of the few textile companies still operational since 1980, the Minister praised the management’s resilience and commitment, despite decades of economic headwinds. The company currently maintains a workforce of over 290 employees, continuing to play a key role in the local economy. The federal delegation’s visit signals a renewed push to revitalize the textile sector, once a cornerstone of Nigeria’s industrial economy.
