He expressed optimism about the project, urging local youths to support the contractors and the investor in this exciting endeavor.
As the region aims to reclaim its status as a premier tourist destination, the governor reassured residents of ongoing efforts to enhance their quality of life and promote peaceful recreational spaces.
“So, part of our programme for the Rivers people and to bring back Rivers State to what it used to be before, is to make sure that we revive the Port Harcourt Tourist Beach.
“As a matter of fact, what I came to do this afternoon is to inspect the second part of the land, which we just acquired recently to expand this space.
“And we also have an investor who is willing and has the capacity to re-establish this place to a modern tourist centre.
“So, I am really happy that our people are already excited that the once forgotten Port Harcourt Tourist Beach will come back to life,” he said.
