Construction of a multi billion kwacha dry port at Wulongo in Nakonde district in Northern Province has commenced.
MOFED Tanzania, which is a Zambian company owned by the ministry of Finance and Economic Development is billed to construct a dry port at Wulongo township area at a cost of US$ 10 million.
Nakonde District Commissioner, Edwin Sinyinza, has confirmed the development in an interview with ZANIS in Nakonde today.
Mr Sinyinza said MOFED engineers and technicians are already on site.
Mr Sinyinza added that civil works encompassing administration offices and dry port land clearing is already in progress.
He added that several local contractors have been sub contracted to provide equipment such as bulldozers, graders and other vehicles to supply gravel, river and building sand, and timber as well as to under take civil works.
The project, once completed, would help speed up the handling of both inputs and export cargo at the Nakonde border post.
This project would also expected to impact positively on government revenue base and create employment for local people.

Strange, how come a ministry owns a company that i have never heard of? MOFED Tanzania??????? 😕
Is it another Zamtrop issue? 😮
This is good as it provides an opportunity for more jobs……I hope. Not that when we see the construction on T.V we should see utuma Chinese doing the job that Zambians can very well do! Untill then I shall wait and see… :-$
What can I say nabena Baby C muncende.Number 14
Sata doesn’t care about you, he can start a war and die anytime,
#15 Anonymous what is your problem with Sata.You don’t have anything to say. Zip the Sh**T up.
MOFED Tanzania is a Zambia Company owned by our ministry of Finance and Economic Development sound higly scandalous. Financial displine is imposible
Way to go MOFED. We need more projects like this. You have my full support. :d/
What happened to Makeni Dry port will also happen to Nakonde Dry port ( die a natural death) :((
This looks like the Ministry of Finance doesn’t trust anybody else anymore to implement its projects. Personally, I wouldn’t trust my project with the current Ministry of works & supply.
Good project atleast we will have more jobs and this will lessen the poverty levels.only hope it wont drag like other projects.
The wisemen whats happening you are too quiet,are you sleeping on duty?
l-)
#19, How did that happen?
#23 too many scandals
I am currently visting nakonde and i can tell you bloggers that there is one engineer, one accountant, one foreman and 16 other workers which include 4 or so bricklayers. This company is yet to bring on site equipment. They have just finished laying footing concrete now. The local contractor contrated to clear the land had his contract revocked because his grader was constantly breaking down.
MOFED is another creation of FTJ before he left office. Hope they do something sensible but not based on the info i have about the company 😕
This has been a long time coming. Good luck project manager!!!!

The money could have been well spent on upgrading Mpulungu habour to international standards as opposed to a dry port in Nakonde.
The goes another White Elephant with very little research in terms of jobs and long term outlook.
I think it is good idea to help those in nakonde as the did not vot for satana(sata).Those pipo deserve this development let those in kitwe,ndola,chingola lusaka and all satamaniacks see this developement now only one month in power of RB.heeeeeeeeeeeeeee :d:d
Ok forgive us lord Rupia for voting sata,we in shall never repeat come and rescue us from loss of jobs as you know us miners are dul in most things,sorry mr president :o:o
