Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi announced this today when the Managing Director of The Sun Publishing Ltd, and members of the Management of the Sun Newspapers paid him a courtesy visit in Port Harcourt . Governor Amaechi, who explained that the delay in the commencement of the project was due to the different proposals that came up, said he has directed the Committee handling the project to commence work while the developers could join at any point their proposals were okayed.

Is this the government building these houses or are these private projects ? |
Re: The Tranformation Of Nigeria, Part II - Greater Port Harcourt City (Master Plan) by BOSS7: 9:41pm On Jan 21, 2009 |
I think the government is funding the project as quoted from the text above. |
Re: The Tranformation Of Nigeria, Part II - Greater Port Harcourt City (Master Plan) by Kobojunkie: 9:45pm On Jan 21, 2009 |
But Why? Not that I am anti-development by government, but since when did government also get the job of building houses? Them no get realtors and private developers for those states? lol Where are the banks and what are they doing, sitting back while government gets to fund the building projects? |
Re: The Tranformation Of Nigeria, Part II - Greater Port Harcourt City (Master Plan) by BOSS7: 9:46pm On Jan 21, 2009 |

I am just saying . . . even dubai was built with private money mostly and not the people's money. I sort of get this idea that all these MEGA city projects popping up here and there have to do with the success of dubai, but no be government build dubai though. Na private trillionaires do am, abi no be so? lol abi, are we scrapping the move towards democracy and less government? I am just saying , roflmao!! |

Redistribute wealth? You mean like Free housing to the people? I better go queue up make I get my own house too. Lol. I think they tried that back in the days in lagos with the lagos State low cost housing project. That did not work out much as there were just too many people and the project ran out of money when a new admin took over. If they want to redistribute wealth, send me a check in the mail instead. I know how to spend my own share better than Government does. LoL. |

Good idea not bad at all. Rivers state will definitely benefit from this project. Rather than get all negative and try to ridicule the idea why don't you people come up with a better idea or provide the fund for that. Amaechi is the governor so its his job to do whatever he thinks is right and as long as the people in Rivers are okay with that idea no amount of castigation will stop him. |
Re: The Tranformation Of Nigeria, Part II - Greater Port Harcourt City (Master Plan) by udezue(m): 10:44pm On Jan 21, 2009 |

It's all nice and stuff, I'm all for building glittering skyscrapers, but how about utilizing our rivers for say, I dunno, something like a damn for electricity. I know its extremely difficult to justify spending money that affects regular Nigerians but it could work out in the long term. |

Apparently,the govt is only providing basic infra, Road network,IPP,water and gas lines etc, Private sector go build the rest just like they are doin at rainbow town and iriebe garden city. |

Fashola has raised the stake of good goverance, and Amechi is following sought, just like the what the kaduna bloke is doing about his new kaduna project, that is what we want to see our numerous governors do. |

Amaechi is trying but its not all eureka, the price of petrol is the most expensive in Port Harcourt. |
Re: The Tranformation Of Nigeria, Part II - Greater Port Harcourt City (Master Plan) by PapaBrowne(m): 8:19pm On Apr 27, 2009 |
otokx:A State Guv'nor has nothing to do with the price of petrol. |
Re: The Tranformation Of Nigeria, Part II - Greater Port Harcourt City (Master Plan) by otokx(m): 2:17pm On Apr 28, 2009 |
he has, there is petrol in aba, owerri, ahoada, isiokpo but the port harcourt metropolis the dealers are refusing to sell. They have created artificial scarcity and are selling for N100 at the pump and as usual every other thing has increased starting with transportation fare. |

^wierdo. i like how everyone is angry that this guy is revolutionizing his state. really? complaining about who is funding it? do you prefer a private company do it while he steals the money he could have used to fund it? this is why you people are primitive. anyways, i'll be the first the applaud amaechi. good work |
