Rivers Residents Want Revival Of PH Tourist Beach
Tourism no doubt is an area that drives the hospitality industry in any city, state and or country.
Before now, Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital was known for its hospitality due to its natural environment, fun spots, flowers and trees which earned it the status of Nigeria’s Garden City.
One of such fun spot and relaxation centre was the Port Harcourt Tourist Beach located at the down town axis of the city leading to Borikiri, though the place now seems to be a shadow of itself as a visit there reveals.
This is why the people of Allase-Ama, host community to the Port Harcourt Tourist Beach is calling on the Rivers State Government to revive the facility.
Speaking exclusively to The Tide, Provost of Allase-Ama community, Tamunokuro Wariboko said the place was one of the finest relaxation centers owned by the Rivers State Government and people of the state; attracting visitors from far and near.
According to Wariboko, “when this place was functional, it had the zoo section, fish pond, horse ride and gallery where you see pictures of former Heads of State and Presidents and so on.
“Even during the Rivers State Golden Jubilee (50 years) celebration, the tourist beach was one of the relaxation spots people came to see because of the natural environment like sand, trees overlooking the rivers.
“We are happy that the Governor, Chief (Barr.) Nyesom Wike promised that he will make this place more befitting. We are also thanking him for constructing the road leading to this place”, the former youth secretary of Allase-Ama stated.
On security, he said the community youth are working with state government officials to ensure the place is safe and not used for illegal activities.

Actress, Regina Daniels, has threatened to sue her estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko and others for accusing her of taking hard drugs.

She displayed laboratory test results conducted by a California hospital. According to the test results, Regina, who tested negative for hard drugs, is only associated with ecstasy better known as molly.
“ I don’t believe that I will sit in front of this camera again trying to clear up an accusation that was sent to destroy me,” she said.
“It’s a new year, and with it came a moment of clarity. I realised that there are certain narratives I can no longer allow linger over my name as a public figure. I also realised how many people love me, support and believe in me. And I will never let that love or loyalty to be met with shame or doubt. I mean, tell me what better way to tear down a brand than drugs.
“Still, I’m endlessly grateful for the opportunity to speak my truth. Taking this test is not about clearing my name, is about giving a strong, and confident voice to those who believes in me. And above all, to give my children something priceless, pride, that when they grow up to the proper age of understanding, they will know that their mother was never a drug addict.
“And please note, I was never on any hard drugs or any nonsense fabricated online. I will sue, I will definitely sue at the appropriate time, a honestly speaking, the only drug I was associated with was ecstasy. Believe it or not there’s a reason for that.”
