The historic Gidan Kuli groundnut oil mill in the state’s Kankia Local Government Area has been renovated, according to Katsina governor Dikko Radda.
In a short while, the resurrected Gidan Kuli groundnut oil mill will start operating in full, generating over 500 direct and indirect jobs and strengthening the local economy.
The entire overhaul, which included updating outdated equipment, purchasing new equipment, building administrative blocks, shops, and perimeter fencing, was carried out by The Katsina Youth Craft Village (KYCV).
