The Greater Port Harcourt Development Authority has planned a 30,000 housing units in Phase One of its development programme.

The sole administrator of the authority, Mrs Aleruchi Cookey-Gam, said this at a cocktail organised by the management of Weltek Nigeria Limited to mark the return of Imtech Industry International to Port Harcourt.

Mrs Cookey-Gam said that the new Greater Port Harcourt city will have a new university, a central business district and a golf course.

She said that the authority is ready to partner with any private organization to ensure the realization of the objective for which it is established.

Also speaking, the executive director of Weltek Nigeria Limited, Chief Pedro Egbe said that Imtech Industry Limited left the country since 2006 because of youth restiveness in the Niger Delta.

Chief Egbe said that the good intention of the government in the development of the region would yield no result without the support of the business community.

“We know that government has all the good intention to have a society but that group business institutions that should support government gesture must be alive for government programme to be executed on time within budget and to specifications”, he said.

The sales manager of Imtech Vonk Industry Limited, Mr Wiert Vos said that the company is happy to be back to Port Harcourt.

Mr Wiert Vos also described the city as more peaceful than before adding that the company is ready to contribute towards the realization of the power programme of the government.
