New City Masterplan: Cookey-Gam Harps On Security

Security of lives and property is key to the successful
implementation of the Greater Port Harcourt City Development Masterplan.

The administrator of Greater Port Harcourt City Development
Authority (GPHCDA), Dame Aleruchi Cookey-Gam gave this indication, Tuesday,
during a courtesy visit to the New Rivers State Commissioner of Police, CP
Mohammed Indabawa, in his office in Port Harcourt.

Mrs Cookey-Gam further stated that the authority would build
an ultra-modern police station and fire service station to secure lives and
property including other social physical infrastructure like water, power,
access roads, drainages, shopping malls etc in the new city. According to the
Administrator, contracts for some of the projects have already been awarded.

While congratulating the New CP, on his recent appointment,
the administrator also thanked the Rivers State Police Command for their
support to the Government in maintaining law and order.

She urged the police boss to maintain the existing
relationship between the police and the GPHCDA, especially as the authority
moves to the implementation phase of its projects as well as in the enforcement
of its Development Control exercise.

The CP thanked Mrs Cookey-Gam for being proactive in the
implementation and building of the New City which he said would be for the
benefit of the entire Rivers people.

Indabawa assured that the Rivers State Command would
continue to support the developmental policies of the government as well as the
GPHCD project.
