As part of efforts to revamp the city and give traders a conducive trading environment, the Rivers State governor Siminalayi Fubara, has promised to reconstruct the Creek Road Market in the old Port Harcourt Township into an ultra-modern facility.

Fubara revealed that the decision stems from the commitment to achieve a wholesome implementation of the Urban Renewal Policy of his administration, which he said puts the people first.

The governor made the promise when he visited the market to see how trading activities takes place within the entire Creek Road and adjoining streets.

He explained that restoring Port Harcourt to its cherished Garden City status would require transforming it into a liveable city that offers sustainable and equitable urban environment.

He further assured that since government was a continuum, his administration would do everything possible to make sure that Creek Road traders are settled in an appropriate and befitting market.
