Rivers State Governor, Ezenwo Wike yesterday inspected the ongoing construction of an 11000 square metres shopping mall in Port Harcourt.

Speaking with news men after the inspection tour of the facility, Governor Wike said construction of a Dubai standard supermarket in Port Harcourt underscores the importance of Port Harcourt as an investment destination.

The governor said to ensure maximum utilization of the facility at the Trans-Amadi area of Port Harcourt, his administration will support the investor by reconstructing the roads leading to the mall.
The governor expressed satisfaction with the investment, which he said will create employment opportunities for residents and the host community.

He thanked the private investor, Mr Ndibe Obi for choosing Port Harcourt for the mall, saying that the city has all the facilities that will attract credible private investors.

Governor Wike said:

"I am highly impressed by what I have seen here today. We will encourage the investor who has put in his resources and time to see that this is done in Port Harcourt. We encourage others to come to Port Harcourt.
"In supporting him, we will make sure that the roads leading to this facility are reconstructed to enhance the value of the shopping mall.
"I have never seen anything like this in any part of this country. If this comes up, it will send signals to other people that the best place to invest is Port Harcourt ".

He said:

"So I thank the private investor for choosing Port Harcourt to build this kind of Supermarket ".

In his remarks, the Private Investor, Mr Ndibe Obi confirmed that the mall will house an 11000 square metre supermarket which will sell all types of products.

He said that facility will generate 600 direct and indirect employment for residents and the host community. He urged the Rivers State Government to support the company through amenities.

.This is interesting.
I am actually the first to comment on this monumental thread.
Honestly I am really close to tears at this lifetime achievement.
and sarrki tried their best ,spiritually and traditionally but they were not the chosen ones. You see there is no profit in bearing grudges or being jealous of the Lord's anointed.


There are so many people to whom tribute must be paid firstly Mustapha our prayerful maiguard , may your kettle be forever blue. I am not one of those who say that you were hiding inside the GP tank the day armed robberso came around our street. I know you are brave and trustworthy. I believed in you just like you believed in me and so I dedicate this honour to you. I am sure you told the truth when you say you entered the tank to fetch water to pray and fell down as you went in and were knocked unconscious.
I cannot forget Tawakalitu aka Shade Lepa aka tirin gbeku omo iya aje. Haters call you olosho but Let them say ,did they not say worse about Stephanie whom we now to to be an unequalled business mogul. I dedicate this to you. We are like minds and you are invited for a special and exclusive award dedication later to nite.
I cannot forget my VHS recorder people say I don't have money for DVD Player but you know better. We have a special relationship, how can I repay your loyalty with betrayal?
Aah baba landlord, you are the best. I am not of the number of those who call you names like big head or Opa mefa oo to ran fila. They are ignorant. I know your head is full of ideas that can light Lagos. I know you don't have time for gossip and wicked rumours of those who say I was sacked 8 months ago and spend all my time at the lotto shop Your rent is on the way. You know that my whistle is not for fun. I have blown if for the finance minister and she will soon sign the check after Buhari approves the whistle blowing policy. You know he does not like to rush. I would like you to share the glory. You know I do not allow anybody touch my whistle but I have decided to reward your patience by teaching you how to blow it so you can partake in the whistle blowing windfall.

I once again salute sarrki and for being gallant losers. Do not lose hope. Follow Buhari's example. See how many times he contested elections. .

Personally, I do not drink hot drink before 9.00 am, I don't eat snake and I don't patronise ashawo. If you live a clean life like me you will surely succeed in your endeavours

Mr. Lootimi Amaechi, how market?

If that's the mall in that pic then they should just go back to the drawing board or someone should collect change.cos that is not as big as west hills mall in Ghana.

Nice one....

The way our politicians make unguarded statements makes me wonder whether there is any beast or monster in the political office that takes away their brain.

So without the shopping mall being built there, you wike wouldn't have repaired the road and allow the residents to keep on suffering.

No wonder someone made this post yesterday

Mall!
We assume mall is a factory or industry in this part of the world...mall is just a Shop..like many shop together in a place...no Biggie...
Ibadan has 3 malls,dirty and scanty : no be person we Don chop go dey go mall...
State should be able to strive hard to add to their IGR.
It's not a bad thing to have small state owned refinery or power plant...
This is what we've been telling Lagos state government since the beginning of Ambode's term.

is that the biggest challenge in that state having a mall

Wike i sight your Belle

WIKERISED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LIKE THIS GUY

Misplaced priority. Governor building mall. U thought you have seen it all until another polithiefcian is let loose. Why can't he build factory where machines robots and the likes would be built, and create job opportunity for mechanical electrical material computer metallurgical engineers. That can improve the entire contry tech and GDP. Mtcheew useless set of people fayose associate .

How will a reasonable Nigerian youth be saying its good news for governor to be wasting state fund on shopping mall. #thingsfallapart
