‘Rivers Electrical Market, 50% Completed’

The ultra-modern Electri
cal Market in Rivers commonly referred to as the Electrical village is said to be 50 per cent completed.
The President of Electrical Dealers Association (EDA) in Rivers State, Mr. Everest Egbodo, disclosed this Friday in Port Harcourt when the Gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Barr Nyesom Wike, and his campaign team visited the association at its temporary site.
The President who stated that the feat was achieved through the individual efforts of the union’s over 4,000 members, regretted that the project has been stalled for lack of funds.
Egbodo remarked that the project when completed would decongest the city of Port Harcourt, create employment opportunities and attract businesses to the state.
He appealed to the PDP governorship flag-bearer to assist the association if he eventually emerges governor of the state in the forthcoming election.
In his response, Wike promised to refund the association the money used to purchase the land and that his government would partner with the association to complete the project as well as bring the issue of double or duplicated taxation to a stop.
He equally promised provision of internal roads, secretariats, and fire service in the electrical market.
