Greater PH Master Plan, Better Than Abuja’s – Cookey-Gam

The Greater Port
Harcourt Master Plan, initiated by Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi is more comprehensive compared to the Abuja master plan, the Administrator of the Greater Port Harcourt City Development Authority, (GPHCDA), Dame Aleruchi Cookey-Gam has said.
Cookey-Gam who spoke with The Tide recently in Port Harcourt also identified Governor Amaechi’s vision of development as more credible than the previous administrations in the state since the creation of the state.
The administrator who was the Secretary to the State government under Sir Peter Odili, noted that previous governments neglected their roles and vision to regulate and control the fast growing city of Port Harcourt.
She, however, expressed happiness that Amaechi’s  vision on Greater Port Harcourt City has finally come to a reality as several projects in the phase 1A of the new city are now at various stages of completion.
According to her, some of the ongoing projects at the new Port Harcourt include internal township services, storm water canals which is 100 per cent completed, bulk water supply, a heavy completed; 33 KVA power supply sub-station (70 – per cent completion) M10 free way, solid waste and sport precinct access roads which are 80 per cent completed.
Mrs Cookey-Gam called on any incoming government in the state to shun political sentiments and queue behind Governor Amaechi’s laid down vision for durable development of the state.
Reiterating GPHCDA’s commitment to actualize the vision of Governor Amaechi for the state, the administrator promised that work in phase 1 would be completed by early part of 2015.
