Rivers govt, private firm sign deal for new Port City
The Siminalayi Fubara-led Rivers State Government has signed a Public-Private Partnership framework agreement for the establishment of a New Port City to be delivered on a 1,000 hectares of land that will serve as nucleus of network of urban centres designed to decongest Port Harcourt and break the one-city jinx of the state.
Chief Press Secretary to the Rivers Governor, Nelson Chukwudi disclosed this in a statement.
Chukwudi said the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), signed at Government House in Port Harcourt on Thursday, was between the Rivers State Government, under the supervision of the Greater Port Harcourt City Development Authority (GPHCDA) and Rainbow Heritage Group (RHG).
