We’ll Make PH World Tourism Destination, Wike Affirms

The Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike has explained that his administration was developing the Port Harcourt Pleasure Park into a major global tourist attraction.
Addressing journalists, last Friday, after inspecting the Port Harcourt Pleasure Park Cinema completed by his administration, Wike said that key facilities were being developed to improve the quality of experience at the park.
He described the new cinema constructed within the park as a ‘five-star’ facility that raises the standard of entertainment available to people in the Niger Delta.
According to him, “We have just completed a five-star cinema within the Port Harcourt Pleasure Park. This cinema is about the best in the country.
“It will offer first class entertainment to the people of the region and beyond. Instead of going to Dubai for relaxation and tourism, you come over to Port Harcourt to enjoy the pleasure of this park”, he said.
Wike said that the Rivers State Government would continue to develop new facilities that would complement existing structures within the Port Harcourt Pleasure Park.
The governor said that the new cinema would be thrown open to the public after the commissioning programme on September 11, 2019.
He said that his administration was determined to ensure that the beauty of Port Harcourt was restored and Port Harcourt made a major tourism destination in the country.
Wike expressed happiness that sanity was returning to the streets of Port Harcourt, with the Task Force on Street Trading, Illegal Markets and Motor Parks, doing a splendid job.
The governor also inspected ongoing projects in GRA and other parts of Port Harcourt and Obio/Akpor local government areas.
He said that the administration would roll out several projects to mark the first 100 days of his second term.
