Fubara To Deliver Creek Road Market In January

Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has promised that the Creek Road Market under construction in Port Harcourt will be delivered in January next year.
The governor said during an inspection at the site that he was satisfied with the pace and quality of work.
He observed that the occupation of Creek Road by street traders displaced from the Creek Road market was delaying the completion of the rehabilitation of Creek Road being handled by Setraco Nigeria Limited, which is also handling the rehabilitation of Old Port Harcourt Township roads.
He noted that relocating the traders to the new market will free the road for the resurfacing work to be done successfully.
Despite the challenges encountered since the commencement of the project, Governor Fubara said he was impressed with what he saw on site, commending the contractor for the quality of job done so far.
He disclosed that the first phase of the market comprises about 700 stalls and shops, covering both wet and dry sections, which he said is sufficient to accommodate most of the women trading along Creek Road and ultimately restore free flow of traffic along the route.
He assured the contractor handling the market project that the state government would do its part to ensure timely delivery of the project.
Governor Fubara said the roads rehabilitation would restore a healthy environment to the Old Port Harcourt Township, which he described as home to many aged people.
