Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has said his administration is working to achieve an organised development of the state.
He said the construction of a modern complex for spare parts dealers and automobile technicians was a manifestation of his administration’s efforts to develop every sector.
Wike spoke at the weekend when he performed the groundbreaking of the complex at Kilometre 17, Port Harcourt-Aba Expressway in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area.
The governor recalled that since the creation of the state on May 27, 1967, spare parts dealers and automobile technicians had operated haphazardly in unplanned locations and uncertain sections in Port Harcourt and its environs, especially at Ikokwu and Olu Obasanjo Road.
He said this had hindered the development of the areas.
Wike acknowledged the service technicians rendered to the state, despite the worry to residents and visitors, who share in the vision of making Port Harcourt one of the best cities in the country.
The governor hailed the Greater Port Harcourt City Development Authority (GPHCDA), in partnership with SPATMART Limited, to provide accommodation for spare parts’ dealers and automobile technicians.
He said: “While we contend with the high population of the city and the need to move them to a more suitable and comfortable location, we cannot but also appreciate the value of the services they provide to the commercial viability of the state.
